Cops shouldn't be shooting -most- people for running. Period. That you think it's a normal assumption that they would or should is a problem.
It's also easy to say "oh, I'd just do xyz...". Until you're in that situation, you never know. Sometimes cops bust in doors or come out of nowhere and you don't even know what's happening until it's done. There's even stories of people having medical emergencies while driving and cops crashing them and ripping them out of their car as if they're drunk. People wearing headphones that cannot hear the cops orders, cop gets aggressive and violent. Or mistaken identity. So many things can easily happen to anyone, unexpectedly even. Cops need to be held accountable. They need to be better trained. The way it is, is unacceptable.
See thats the thing, if it was some innocent man that was wearing headphones that they shot I would be right there with you and id be very upset. I dont like innocent people being harrassed by police. Id even be upset if these criminals did not resist and were killed. But these people are terrible people who were resisting arrest and put themselves in a dumb situation for them to be killed. If george floyd just cooperated he'd be alive. But he wanted to throw a huge pity party and some asshole cop killed him. If you see on the news that cops are killng ppl who are resisting why do you think resisting is a good idea? These are very stupid people and im not sad they are dead. George Floyd and Duante put guns to innocent peoples heads. They lived a life of crime. They died while being criminals.
Refer back to my first comment. Everyone is owed due process.
You're basically saying its fine for cops to be so violent because, hey, SOME of the people they kill or maim are bad guys. But even if they're bad guys, they still get due process. When you look the other way, you allow rights to be ignored and it doesn't stop with just the bad guys rights. It puts ALL of our rights in jeopardy. Supporting constitutional rights means sometimes you have to do the hard thing and not allow your personal feelings from getting in the way of seeing right from wrong here. Your rights and personal safety are on the line, too, so don't forget that. You, your family and your friends do not benefit from defending these cops or looking the other way when stuff like this happens. You only stand to lose. The sooner that clicks with you, the better.

Im not saying that at all. I just think you have to be a fuckin retard to get killed by police during a traffic stop. That takes incredible stupidity to pull off. The other day I was buying a grill and it had a fuckin warning on it "dont grill in your house" that label is for people lke Duante and George Floyd. I understand we want to make everything so stupid proof now but sometimes darwinism will prevail and the dumb ones wont make it.
You "care" about innocent or harmless people unfairly getting killed by cops, but not quite enough to put your emotions aside and say, enough is enough, and see that policing needs an overhaul. Seeing a "thug" get taken out gives you a little smug high, so fuck all the other people killed by cops and our rights eroding away. I get it. Theres nothing left to discuss here, either you'll get it eventually or you won't.
Duante was wanted for armed robbery
