How about the 5 killed in Chicago this weekend and the 61 others that were shot?

prevnextI cannot believe you people. He’s a father of three. Shot in the back in front of his children and yet somehow, he deserved it.

Im not for police shooting and then asking questions but if you disobey a direct order and get into a car that they have no clue if there is a weapon in there or not is not a great idea and then is escalating the situation.

prevnextNope. Never going to understand why someone would grab someone by the shirt and shoot them in the back 7 times in front of their children. Nope. Never going to be okay. Never ever.

He is alive

prevnextI like you Bubba, but he had a warrant for over month....
And was known to carry weapons.

And was a sex offender.
And domestic violence. pic.twitter.com/5wjWE5LFSb
Insanely incompetent police work, should have never gotten that far and shots should have never been fired. No justification for 7 shots in back.

prevnext@BubbaWallace, while I applaud you sticking up for discrimination, it would be a lot more meaningful if you did it from both sides of the aisle.

Sad situation the suspect put all of them in...Obey the officers command and you won't get tased or shot.
