at what point in the clip did the victim ever charge anyone?
this is why I can't even involve myself in these type discussions. watch the same vid and come to completely different conclusions. at no time was dude a threat to anyone, he was jogging away from the cops
bootsy af that the cop only got charged when the vid was being released to the public, but had been available for a minute

People did and do care. He flashed a cop and like most cops do, he escalated the situation and now we have another body and a cop coming off another vacation (paid administrative leave) and the family left in the wind.
It's us vs them (according to them) and the more middle class white people start to see this shit the better off things will be (probably.)

well the white kid was in the wrong, you do have to provide a license when driving a vehicle. And so he shouldve complied. The dude on pcp wielding a knife was bouncing around in the mid of street getting hyped. Shoulda listened to the officers in both cases. Check out the video of the unarmed guy in his front yard getting shot though. Now thats fucked up. Police say he charged them then a neighbor releases the video and dude was just standing there.

in which situation? when the kid got up and started fighting the officer? yes he deserved to be shot. The guy in the street deserved to be tazed or maced. Not shot. Especially not shot so many times. Once he was down, why more force? and this one Videos show Texas deputies shoot man - CNN.com
So with the kid who fought the cop are you looking at the entire situation or what transpired after the cop pulled him over? I'm looking at it from the reason the cop pulled him over in the first place and how he could have diffused the situation. I'm not looking at it from "OK HE'S A COMPLY HE MUST COMPLY."
Why more force? Why the use of deadly force in the situation? He was walking away from the cop and there were no other people in the immediate area that he would be considered a threat to.
I'll look at this now.
ETA: Ok I've seen this video before.

With the kid I skipped till he was already pulled over and refusing to hand over an i.d. and just sitting there like a self entitled kid. The officers got better things to do then sit there with some punk. Im not sure all the politics behind it, like if he was even permitted to open the kids door ( I dont think he was) so yeah I think the officer unneccarily escalated the situation in that scenario with the opening of the door but it is from my point of view the officer was trying to end it and go on with his night. Not murder. Get him out of the car. And book him. the kid really was driving without a license. He wouldve been booked. Did he deserve to have a tazer drawn on him? After the door was open sure. You gotta comply with the officer in a situation like that. What kind of dumb ass fights a cop in that situation?
and the guy is brandishing a knife walking down the middle of the street high on drugs. You end that situation before it escalates. Like I said, he didnt deserve to be gunned down

So here is where the problem lies. One is an adult and the other is a child. Think about that for a minute. The second is your belief that the officer had better things to do then sit there with some kid. Which is true and begs the question of why did he pulled him over in the first place? The officer had already pulled over not one, not two but three people for the exact same thing the kid did and the kid was the fourth. So at what point, when does the officer say "Hey, I've pulled over multiple people for the same thing, this isn't worth my time, they're flashing because these lights are bright, I have better things to do"?
See above. You're trying to end your night and go home yet you're pulling over four people, all four of them because they flashed you because your lights were bright as fuck and it's against Michigan law to flash under 500 feet? After teh first or second time shouldn't you know why they're doing it?
Again, I'm not saying he should not have complied. Simply put he was operating the vehicle, there was a legal reason for pulling him over (assuming the flash was under 500 feet) but where is the responsibility and discretion by the cop?
Yet he's dead now.
