because cops are incapable of de-escalation in the united states. they are trained to be cowards. its literally in the book to aim for the head and body and unload the clip.
I was surprised when I learned that the military has deescalation training. It makes sense, you don’t want to be the reason why things suddenly erupt into a fire fight in an unknown situation.
You’re safer being stopped and confronted by the National Guard or other division than by police.
What was the point of shooting him when he was running away on foot?
First time?
If you make cops run, they will at least fuck you up. If you’ve given them anything at all they can use to justify deadly force (like driving through a mall) and made them run, you are never seeing a trial. You’ve given them the emotional motive and procedural excuse they need.
Newsnation is doing that thing where they try to be “unbiased” but still hired Chris Cuomo.
They’re doing that Semafor thing where they walk the line the first few years, but still selectively report/omit things so they don’t get dinged on things like MBFC.
They used to be WGN, and own a shit ton of local stations in the rust belt as well, so I’m predicting they pull some Sinclair shenanigans eventually too.
It’s not the biggest problem in America right now, but I’ve been keeping an eye on them with how often they’re being posted now.
Because Tennessee v Garner allows for this to happen. If the police believe that the fleeing suspect poses immediate harm to them or others then they’re allowed to use lethal force. He drive a car through a shopping mall and injured people. Cars are 4,000+ pound missiles.
I also want to point out that legal justification does not always make right. But at least understand the situation.
I’m not familiar with the situation, however many of these car attacks are followed by knife attacks once the vehicle is disabled. They get out and run around stabbing people. Not trying to justify actions or anything, as I don’t know the full situation, however that has potential to be a reason for the police actions.
You’re absolutely correct in as much that most European terrorist attacks start with a blunt force mass-casualty attack, and move on to a low-sophistication phase such as knives or swords, with some sort of improvised explosive endgame.
In North America though, it’s not really an attack pattern that is commonplace - likely due to the high availability of conventional firearms making it easier to start and continue a mass casualty attack.
I suppose the line is drawn wherever it would become reasonable to assume that the driver was going to present a lethal threat to others in the vicinity after leaving the vehicle. I’m not familiar with this case in particular, but it’s going to be a tough one to justify if there’s no ongoing threat to the people in the area being presented.
Yeah. And this website looks very right wing so they don’t include that perspective.

Also incapable of winning a foot race.
Against a drunk guy
Who just crashed his car
Half the cops in the US are fat fucks
Bad cop, no donut is a thing for a reason.

According to the dateline, KXAN is the source of the news
Their landing page modal on my phone literally said “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” 😅
And if you look at MBFC they lean left.
Because they’re going right up to the line but not crossing it. It’s meant to be a source that can’t be immediately dismissed

But he was out of the car already. Did they think he was concealed carrying another car on him or what?
