Yes, why not. Judge Dread Style Justice is need more than ever for some sections of the community.

Which sections deserve it more than others ? Surely breaking the law is the only reason to impose the law ? Why should coming from a 'section' be relevant ? Not saying you're being racist but .... :rolleyes:
 
The guy running away is hardly Usain Bolt is he, that's one seriously trigger happy cop who's so target fixated, he's not bothering to analyse the situation.

@Scorza ... it may have been possible the white cop said something to the black guy along the lines or he was going to kill him and that's what made the black guy try running .. because of previous situtations in America?

Also the cop could have called for backup or picked up his tazer or got his gun out and pointed it at the victim incase he felt he was going to turn around and run at him? To shoot him 5 times out of 8 then handcuff him after and plant the tazer next to him... you can't defend that.

No need for the @username here - if you quote my post I'll assume it was addressed at me :D

It may have been possible, however it's extremely unlikely and there's no evidence to back that up. I have read that in several states it's required procedure to handcuff a suspect even if they are suspected to be dead - only a doctor can pronounce them legally dead.
 
It has nothing to do with race.

Certain sections of the community are bad, the crime figures dont lie. If you happen to be black then quite frankly your 80% to be a crim. So your better off stopping when told to do so instead of running away to go gunning down people in a Compton style drive-by the next day, until your caught and stuck in county jail for 3 years before your case is heard. The USA is a bloody mess with all this a scary state of affairs.

But again what do we know the UK is vastly different thankfully, it not even close to some of the places in the USA.

Where does it say he was violent?

You can prevent a policeman from arresting you without being violent, if I resist someone cuffing me but I don't physically cause them harm I wouldn't class that as being violent, it's resisting arrest sure. But not endangering life or being violent.
 
Where do you draw the line, A cop in the USA in these places must fear for there lives every day, so much hatred and animosity. Lines have been crossed on both sides but it really needs a zero tolerance heavy handed approach. The system is cracking at the seems.

No. He should be apprehended and then put through the judiciary system.

Ideally the police should apprehend the criminal so they can face the courts, indeed. However if someone attacks a police officer and then attempts to flee, they are clearly a threat to the general public and should be shot.

So you endorse killing people who run away. What a guy !
 
They're not clearly a threat to anyone, someone resisting arrest is a threat to the officer at the moment they're resisting and that officer might well use force in order to subdue the person including baton, CS spray, tazer etc.. if they're an immediate threat to his life too he might have to shoot them at that moment. Someone running away doesn't pose an immediate threat to the officer.
