POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE

[Blindgreed1]

I will say that most of the time when I see a white person killed by the cops, my first reaction is usually, 'must have been justified.'

This latest shooting in St Paul seems outrageous to me. How do you unload your weapon into the vehicle, especially with a child in the backseat?

A completely scared, trigger-happy, shoot first ask questions later, excuse-for-a-cop.

He needs to spend 20+ years in prison for his actions.

I thought about that last night. We are all basing our opinion on what we saw in the video. None of us ever saw the exchange between the two. We saw the end result and Diamond's narrative of what happened. Routine procedure when a cop is informed that someone is carrying a concealed weapon is to get them out of the vehicle and then assess the situation (secure the weapon, verify the paperwork is up to snuff). There are many variations of how that could have played out. i.e. Cop: "license and registration please sir?" Phil: "I am licensed and carrying a concealed weapon" Cop: "Step out of the vehicle" if he reaches for the ID and registration and doesn't exit the vehicle, its a justifiable shoot IMO. We don't know. We weren't there. And the cop losing his shit afterward is actually a good thing. If he were a cold blooded killer he wouldn't give a shit.
