Sex offender/illegally armed/pedo black man killed by cops

Some accurate Shooting right there.

Agreed. I want to know at WHAT POINT are some of the black victims going to say to themselves " DAMN! POLICE BE MOWIN' DOWN BROTHERS EVERY DAY LATELY. IF I GET STOPPED, MAYBE I BETTER LET THEM QUESTION/SEARCH ME WITHOUT FIGHTING BACK."

at what point do they say " you want me to get on the ground? WELL HELL YEAH OFFICER! NO PROBLEM!"

Police were called because Alvin Sterling had allegedly threatened someone with a gun. Police arrive, confront Sterling. Sterling resists arrest even after he has been tackled (and maybe tasered). Sterling continues to resist even after verbal warnings with the officers on top of him and according to the video the police believed he was reaching for his gun....which he had.

Now it's not appropriate to just shoot every single felon who somehow acquires a firearm, BUT felons are not supposed to have firearms it is against the law.

It will be EXTREMELY difficult to judge the officers and it's a shitty situation for all involved.

If you resist arrest ESPECIALLY in a situation where the reason the Police are there is because of somebody threatening another person with a gun the consequences ain't gonna be good. This situation is fucked, it's difficult to determine intent for Alvin Sterling's resisting arrest but that is a life and death choice at that juncture and the Police decided that it wouldn't be them. Could have EASILY gone the other way in this case.
