"I'm going to save your life" reeks of his God complex. He knows better than his damn government. And I wonder how long his camera battery has been dead. How many days.

I only know ONE police officer personally. And he's a huge egotistic sack of racist shit.

If he goes to prison I'll eat my shoe. And it's not leather.

Which is crazy because any doctor (or coroner) would recognize an entrance wound in the back.

Should add conspiracy and interfering with an investigation to the murder charges

attempted

Id be willing to bet the batteries were just fine. Or intentionally not charged.

"Somebody could potentially have been in danger later" doesn't justify murder.

I’m all for devils advocate and hearing all sides and all but…

Coleman has Been Involved in Four Other Shootings, was Previously Implicated in Fatal Shooting Scandal

If there’s a scent of shit everywhere you go, at some point you might want to check your shoes.

In America, you are legally allowed to have a gun.

There's no real reason to think this guy was a criminal.

"Coleman was implicated in court testimony in 2022 for participating in the Vallejo police badge bending scandal, where officers bent the tips of their badges to mark fatal shootings. Coleman testified his badge was bent against his will, but a department superior testified that he was more involved than he said and may have even helped spread the practice to other officers."

You make some good points in general, but Coleman seems to be everything a cop should not be...

They chased a traffic stop. This wasn't some crazed murderer on the run. And then the guy tried to comply with the order. He tried to drop his gun. But the officer shot him when he tried to.

The officer has also been involved in 4 other shootings.

So much for "most officers never even pull their gun..."

You can't go by what if. I'm so tired of people defending their stance because of whataboutism. It's a shitty argument. Dude was literally running for his life. I will be honest, I don't know the full extent of the situation yet, but I do agree with you that people shouldn't just jump on the bandwagon just because a cop shot someone. But just looking at the video, I don't see why this kid was shot. Did the kid shoot at the officer? Did the kid threaten the officer's life? Those are the questions I don't know.

Should I fear for my life just because I am carrying a gun? I live in an open carry state. I don't carry anymore, but I see plenty of people walking around with a weapon. my first thought isn't that the person is a criminal just because they carry and I really don't have much thought about it at all.

My views on this are still neutral until I know more information, but please don't go on about whataboutism.

Doesn' matter, unless you have a reasonable belief that they will use that weapon unlawfully simply possessing it is nothing but an extra charge and you cannot shoot a fleeing suspect unless you have ras to believe that they are dangerous and that suspicion cannot be generalized and inarticulate.
