You can only lie about these kinds of events so many times before people just start dismissing them reflexively. Guarantee that what more information comes out it'll be a justified shooting.

Every police shooting is justified in some people's minds.

Feel free to go get him- that's the only way to stop this shit. But I'm sure those idiots up there are just going to beat up folks who had nothing to do with it and burn down there own neighborhoods. BLM is full of retards.

    and this is why body cameras for cops should be a priority. It's ridiculous how cops aren't required to have them.

    There was a major push for adopting body cameras, until it became clear that they disprove the black oppression narrative.

    And do you think that's ok?

    I think it is.

    Aggressive actions, followed by instantly reaching for an object outside of police view... Yeah. If you do that you get your dumb ass shot lmao

    Edit: That cop had all of 2 seconds to guarentee his safety or roll the dice that a moron wasn't about to shoot him despite being in an aggressive state. For the sake of conversation, what would you have done in that hypothetical scenario?

    It is nice to have an active imagination.

    Our police are just not very good.

    A sheriff's deputy working for a fugitive task force shot and killed a Black man trying to enter his own home in Columbus, Ohio, last week in a case that is now being investigated by federal authorities.

    Casey Goodson, 23, was fatally shot on Friday by a 17-year veteran of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, identified as deputy Jason Meade. Meade was working for the US Marshal's fugitive task force looking for violent offenders at the time, but Goodson was not the person being sought by the task force, Columbus Police said.

    Goodson had put his keys into his door before he was shot and fell into the kitchen, where his 5-year-old brother and his 72-year-old grandmother saw him lying on the ground with a Subway sandwich, family attorney Sean Walton told CNN. Goodson, an Ohio concealed carry permit holder, was legally armed at the time of the shooting, according to the Columbus Division of Police. Goodson was not alleged to have committed any crimes, has no criminal background and was not the target of any investigation, Walton told CNN.

    During the US Marshal's task force operation in Columbus, Meade reported seeing a man with a gun and was investigating the situation when there was reportedly a verbal exchange prior to the shooting, the Columbus Division of Police said. According to police, no other officers witnessed the shooting, no civilian eyewitnesses have been identified and there is no body camera footage of the actual shooting because Franklin County Sheriff's task force officers aren't issued body cameras.

    CNN reached out to the Franklin County Sheriff's Office for comment but has not yet heard back.

    Goodson was not alleged to have committed any crimes

    Brandishing a weapon and aggravated assault are... well, crimes.

    Well, it well it is not alleged he did that.

    [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

    It is alleged that that was the reason the officer confronted him. But you can't press charges against a dead man.

    Oh, I did not see that in the linked article. Did I miss it?

    Who cares. 2 people got shot around the corner from my apartment the day after thanksgiving at 1:30pm. Shooters got away. They were Hispanic and dealing drugs so no one here cares.

    A black teen got shot and killed BY HIS OWN FRIEND who was a “BLM activist” who was aiming for someone else — also a block from my apartment. Who gives a flying fuck. Let them all die. They don’t even care about their own race.
