Tyre Nichols murder

You miss the purpose of my comparison. You made a point about pre-thought, I was pointing out that sudden, dramataic/violent encounters can put pause to such pre-thought.

But your post tried to say I was wrong as my point is "nullified" (ie wrong) as it is not what "you" deem as "resisting arrest" to which my later part of the post you didn't quote made clear that during that moment, given the scenario (US Police, known aggression, etc) that the only "interpretation" of "resisting arrest" that matters, is in the hands of the people with the firearms. Not yours, mine or anyeon elses. That would come after. And that would be too late to save your life if things (can and often does) goes South.

Hence, if possible (as you rightly pointed out, as not everyone reacts the same), NOT "resisting arrest" (resisting the urge to do what your instinct tells you), despite being attacked, is your greater chance of seeing the next day alive.

so you are saying running away gives police the right to beat you to death? Give them the right to be the judge, the jury and executioner because you ran?

Running = death

And that is allowed in the US? Which law is that?

Or is it unwritten…because it’s expected…right? Got it. If you run, you die. As opposed to getting arrested and let the law decide the punishment, the police has the licence to kill in that instance.

We know that’s not true, he did not deserve any of it.

You seem to be making a massive assumption based on what he is saying.

I know what he is saying, that you shouldn’t make the situation worse…that’s not my point. He totally glossed over my point, my point was what he did warrant the beating he took.

We know he ran, so saying “he shouldn’t have ran” is redundant, pointless and irrelevant. He did run. So the thing that is left is what happened to him justified.

Oh whats that a routine traffic stop without guns drawn at the ready even with a gun involved.

Yeah what they did certainly wasn’t normal despite the reputation of the US police officers. They were thugs in every sense of the word.

I don't think anyone is saying what happened after he ran is justified.

100%
Some of my earlier replies were people justifying the 3 officers stopping his vehicle with guns drawn. Its clearly not general policy for routine stops, thanks for backing this up!

I think begie earlier said he would have done the same thing as those police officers…I asked him would he do the same had he himself be in the police officer’s position…but I think he was trolling…I hope so anyway!
