Are cops trained to aim for the chest? If so, then why would you be supporting people who are trained to execute people as opposed to de-escalate?
Yes, he was only armed with a knife. The video shows that.
I'm not about the looting but in no way am I opposing it like you are. Sure, some people are jumping at the opportunity but then again, there could be some people who've just had enough. Look how upset you got about me calling you white boy a few months back. Now imagine how upset you'd be if white people were getting gunned down by the cops for walking with a knife, sleeping in their own apartment, walking to their car etc. It's more than just people wanting free **** but you fail to realize that because of a general lack of empathy.
P.S. I served in the military for 3 years and there are strict rules of engagement that need to be followed. One rule which is probably similar to the US ROE's is that you cannot fire upon an enemy until they've fired upon you. In essence, you can't initiate but you can return fire. If a soldier did what these 2 cops did then they'd be charged and convicted.
