  People will believe what they want - regardless of the facts. If you have an agenda you're passionate about you find "facts" to support it. I hope there is no more violence over this.

  The cop followed the Use of Force Continuum. The "victim" had a weapon within maximum effective range and was not responding to the verbal commands. I've read some places where it says he had mental issues and may have been deaf which if that's true he shouldn't have had a permit to carry imo. Its a shame someone dies but the cop did what he was supposed to do regardless of the mans skin color, can we get over that part of it?

  Police do not shoot people by race, color or creed....not in this country anyway.

  I don't believe men in blue consider it a win to have to kill another human being. I imagine it stays with them a long, long time regardless of the circumstances.

  Vote for the other candidate

  Where have you seen that he had a permit to carry?
  
  The dude was a convicted felon and would have failed a background check, also his wife had filed for a restraining order because he threatened to shoot her.

  He must have been real confident to have had only one bullet in the gun... or maybe he saw Deadpool and thought he could take them all out with one bullet?

  Schmidty - I would suggest you consider ignoring Flats Broke. He states an inflammatory conclusion with no supporting facts. He is simply trying to recreate the vitriol that caused Politics to be eliminated. Remember the old wisdom "Never get into a fight with a fool - they'll drag you down to their level and beat you up with their experience".

  Well there you go. I have read enough stories on police brutality or people trying to justify why a person was not listening to orders from an officer and got shot. Really don't need to read another one. So a felon carrying a gun is essentially committing another felony if i'm not mistaken.

  Maybe if we tell people that the brain is an App, they will start using it.

  True. We can just make it 'Ignorant statement of the week' probably more applicable anyways.
