Why is it that there's never any outrage when a cop from another countries kills someone like this, but when it happens in America, the criticism comes pouring in? Look, I cannot deny that these cops used unnecessary force since after the first shot he's staggering and has dropped the bat. But I just really don't understand why so many people think all American cops are all evil. Of course there are ones that are trigger happy and corrupt, but they exist everywhere in the world, not just here. I've seen people express sympathy when a cop in somewhere like per say, Brazil is killed, but then there are people who actually laugh and say it was deserved when a cop in America is killed.

Before anyone calls me a sheeple, please at least explain to me why not thinking all cops are bad is ignorant thinking? Are cops above the law? Hell no. There are plenty of shitty cops here in the states, but I have seen cops do decent things too, not all of them abuse their power. Also, I don't think all cops in other countries are all either only good or bad. The world is not only black and white.

Most people hate cops because they arrest them when they break the law. Most of these fucking idiots just say what they think is cool. They're morons.

Fuck are you talking about asshat most people hate cops because they frequently kill people for little to no reason and face little to no recourse and at the end of the day get praised as hero’s

Cops in America kill mega fucktons of people, that's why.. nothing related to this video though.. you can find people outraged at literally anything if you look hard enough.

I know you're exaggerating, but there are cops who genuinely don't want to use lethal force. I'm not saying innocent people don't get shot, but most of the time you can avoid being shot by the police by simply complying with them. There are other things out there that kill way more people every year than American cops do.

A lot of Americans hate cops because they make everyone feels unsafe. There is absolutely zero accountability when it comes to their actions as the literally just get transferred when they abuse their power. They are legalized murders. They can shoot first and ask questions later and that somehow seems fucking normal to them. I get they face real danger but more often then not the situation could’ve been handled SOOO much differently. If a cop walked up to a group of people he thought were suspicious and then opened fire on them because they confronted him you couldn’t even kill the cop to save everyone because “all cops are hero’s” and “no officer should die while on duty”. People are afraid of cops in America and rightfully so. Police officers literally have the most domestic violence problems. Good cops can’t do the right thing because they’ll get blackballed by the entire police force. Fuck heads will say “people need to know how to act with the police” like no mother fucker they need to know how to interact with people.

At 20 seconds they shoot him once and he backs up and drops the bat then turns and walks away (leaving a trail of blood). He is obviously not a threat from this point on, however there are two distinct pop sounds that can be heard after this.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/apr/20/san-leandro-shooting-walmart-police-steven-taylor

The San Leandro police chief, Jeff Tudor, said in an interview that the “pop” heard on the video after Taylor was already on the ground came from a Taser, and that it was too early to speculate whether that shot had hit Taylor or whether it was justified and in line with department policy.”

Even if the above were true, that leaves the other pop sound heard just before that to be a completely unnecessary shot on a slowly retreating target in the back.

Shooting a nigger is brave. Tsing him is a faggot move for cowards who are afraid of their own government not letting them enact 2a.

[–]Tigerbitecrazy 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Shooting anyone holding a melee weapon is cowardly....so many other options to diffuse the situation and he went with taking a life. Bet this goof has "you're fucked" tattooed on his upper too

[–]antinhkagent 3 insightful - 4 fun3 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 4 fun -  (2 children)

Cry me a river. They followed protocol, "Pretty please drop the bat you poor oppressed victim," That didn't work.

What if he Negan'd their brains out, is it still cowardly to shoot? LMAO, go line up for food stamps you dumb brainwashed cow.

HA! Or, I dunno, maybe use a taser? He's firing a ballistic weapon in the middle of a packed grocery mart. It's stupid and cowardly. Grow up and get your balls snipped so we don't have to deal with anymore of your idiotic gene pool

firing a ballistic weapon in the middle of a packed grocery mart. It's stupid and cowardly.

Because it's protocol to use deadly force against deadly force. Tasers are unreliable.

Did he actually get shot or just tazed? I don't hear a gunshot and the cop didnt seem to have any reason to shoot him

[–]bugyourparents 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

If it was then they should be tried for murder since they shot him multiple times while obviously not posing a threat anymore

[–]Impalasixty7 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Did you not have the sound on? Clear gunshots and a trail of blood on the floor.

I honestly can't help feel if he wasn't black, the cops would have tried something else to get him in under control besides he was backing up and the cops wee approaching him. Cops should be required to take some courses on deescalation
