Again, the Wild West mentality in the US is holding it back in social development. You can't call yourself a developed country and think it is okay for the 'Sherrif' to kill the 'outlaws' in the street.
Who cares if the guy was a felon at some point in the past. The point is unnecessary lethal force was used on your streets by the police, and this guy never faced trial.
The officer was judge, jury and executioner.
All I can say is, wow. You could cut and paste this to the BLM website and get all thumbs up. Guess it's safe to say that you hate cops, huh?
Absolutely not. I have family and friends in the police, not in the US.
If you think that what I posted was inflammatory then your thinking is broken.
The police have a job to do. A difficult job. But their job does not include carrying out the death penalty.
Believe it or not I agree with police having the power to use lethal force. 100%. But power should come with conditions and there is no need to kill an unarmed, handcuffed man. Even if he just blew up an entire row of houses. The justice system exists for a reason.
