It's probably too cold here for them to protest this week
Americans have accepted that any risk and even perceived risk to police will be met with lethal force.
It seems so simple to me, don't fight with a cop and try to take his gun and you won't get shot.

But of course, the race baiters including President Five Iron will ignore that obvious fact....again.
Based on what I see and heard in this vid.... I hear a taser going off, he's got my gun...... cops got the right to react in self defense... big difference between a rock and a gun...
Interesting situation. Hopefully more cameras will shed light on it. again though I still think sending in a dozen armed leos to remove some homeless.people sleeping on the sidewalk is overkill (pardon the pun).
I heard the taser go off as well- and the 5 shots...pretty excessive-
I don't see why you say 5 shots is excessive. Either deadly force was justified or it wasn't. I couldn't see enough from the video to judge whether or not it was. But if 1 shot was justified, then multiple shots were also justified. And the shots happened quickly enough that the situation probably didn't change from justified to unjustified between shot 1 and shot 5.
..should be interesting to see what comes out after all the videos are released.

sarcasm?

So if you were fighting for your life, are you going to get a little pissed when the DA says "isn't that excessive" when you mag dumped a guy who was trying to kill you?
Once the line's been crossed its been crossed. It's not like the guy walked back there to "finish him off" or something. It's called "deadly force" for a reason.
I'm not even saying the cops were right or whatever in this situation, not enough evidence, but if a gun comes out and someone gets shot five times, assuming justified, 5 shots is hardly "excessive".

Is Bonesinium sleeping in today?
The woman seen in the video recording picking up an officer's baton was detained and is expected to be arrested, Smith said. She had not been booked as of 9 p.m. Sunday, and it was unclear what charges she would face, but Smith said the arrest would stem from her picking up the baton.
