Don't really have time to explain my opinion but what is common with all of these crimes, is that if the victim never actually did a crime, there would no police and therefore would still be alive today. That is a fact

What was this man's crime? Not speaking English?

Don't really have time to explain my opinion but what is common with all of these crimes is police feel entitled and are encouraged to brutalize the public.

Wow that is very sad, if he does not speak english they should call the dispatcher or whatever it is for a translation or something. However I cannot provide a stance on this because I do not know the background information. Maybe this man was a murderer or committed a very serious crime. But randomly stopping someone on the street and beating them up is NOT ok, no matter what the situation is.

I think the cop had the right to use weapon in that case. He probably overreacted a bit and got the robber killed but imagine yourself in this situation.
You get called to a robbery, don't know if the guy is armed or on drugs, you tell him to stop and he runs at you and starts choking you in your own car!

Keep in mind that he also tried to grab for his gun. If someone is running at you and trying to hurt you, its either your life or his, the policeman told him to back off but he did not listen, and the boy went for the gun. You fear for your own life and had to make a decision. The gun WAS in his hand and the easiest defense mechanism, but if there was a bit more time he could've pulled out a tazer and stunned him.

This is even worse than, "if she hadn't been dressed like a slut, she wouldn't have gotten herself raped."

Summary execution isn't supposed to be how the US justice system works. Way to be a murder apologist.

But you cannot deny that if he did not rob the store, the police would not be called to talk to him about this, and then when he WAS spoken to, he assaulted the police officer, and if he did not do, and followed with what the policeman said, he would have not been shot.

I have to say that i disagree. There is some truth to what you are saying, but there are also fundamental approaches that any officer of the law shouldnt use any more force than
it is really required to. For example, would you say its ok that if your kid steals a lolypop from the store, and the officers uses taser gun on him ?
