I don't think they should. Did you see how black and big and black and scary and black that guy was? He was powering up to do some real damage by standing there. Luckily that cop tackled him before he could raise his power levels.
i see what you did there.:cheers:

I think all cops need to protect themselves because they have families to go home to as well. When justified I am like put a bullet in a nigga dome.

But many like these are not justified. To me after watching the video the cop checked his pockets and found out he had a gun. There is no way the brotha could have reached in his pockets to pull out a gun with two 200 plus pound men sitting on top of him.

Having a gun is not grounds for murder.

As long as police can kill black people without fear of any violent repercussions ...this type of lynching will occur ever 2-3 weeks

Europeans speak and understand one language violence ...

A million prayers, hashtags, body cameras, or votes are worthless

All Europeans aren't violent so you can't stereotype everybody, but I do agree with the rest of your statement.

fry what?
why has this happened ever in the history of police killing black men?

all we can do is hope they get charged (50% chance) and hope they get sentenced to some time. (15% chance).

Hope? Nah time for folk to start bringing the hammers out.. Cacs only speak one language so we need to speak it...

I'm sure there are plenty of killas in Baton Rouge that can get at these cacs responsible

I don't even care anymore.

If this is how I'm going to meet my end, then so be it.

Being a law abiding citizen doesn't help you in a racist system, so what else the fuck can I do but live my life knowing that there is a chance something like this could happen, and the culprits will get away with it?

Him having a gun is NOT justification to kill him. Hell it not even a crime.

Them being afraid is NOT justification to kill

Unless the man raised that gun, deadly force should not be used.

Matter of fact, last I checked, it was around 2% of cops that are sentenced for murdering victims.
Dude far less than that
5 out of 1000 yearly ate even charged...
Because of video that spiked to 15 cops charged.... let's not talk convictions though




Number Of Police Officers Charged With Murder, Manslaughter Triples In 2015
But with 15 officers charged this year for on-duty shootings, it’s a small sample size.

CHICAGO (AP) — The number of U.S. police officers charged with murder or manslaughter for on-duty shootings has tripled this year - a sharp increase that at least one expert says could be the result of more video evidence.

In the past, the annual average was fewer than five officers charged. In the final weeks of 2015, that number has climbed to 15, with 10 of the cases involving video.

“If you take the cases with the video away, you are left with what we would expect to see over the past 10 years - about five cases,” said Philip Stinson, the Bowling Green State University criminologist who compiled the statistics from across the nation. “You have to wonder if there would have been charges if there wasn’t video evidence.”

The importance of video was highlighted last week with the release of footage showing a Chicago officer fatally shooting a teenager 16 times. The officer said he feared for his life from the teen, who was suspected of damaging cars using a small knife. He also had a powerful hallucinogen in his bloodstream.


“This had all the trappings of a life-threatening situation for a law-enforcement officer - PCP-laced juvenile who had been wreaking havoc on cars with a knife,” said Joseph Tacopina, a prominent New York defense attorney and former prosecutor who has represented several police officers. “Except you have the video that shows a straight-out execution.”

When he was charged with first-degree murder last week, officer Jason Van Dyke became the 15th officer in the country to face such charges in 2015.

Over the last decade, law-enforcement agencies have recorded roughly 1,000 fatal shootings each year by on-duty police. An average of fewer than five each year resulted in murder or manslaughter charges against officers, Stinson found.

The cases are often difficult to prove. Of the 47 officers charged from the beginning of 2005 through the end of last year, about 23 percent were convicted, Stinson found.

“For forever, police have owned the narrative of what happened between any encounter between a police officer and a civilian,” said David A. Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor who has written extensively on police misconduct. “What video does is it takes that power of the narrative away from the police to some extent. And that shift in power of control over the narrative is incredibly significant.”

In case after case, that is exactly what has happened this year.

Stinson said Van Dyke would “never, ever” have been charged without the video. He said the same is true for Ray Tensing, the white University of Cincinnati police officer who is charged with murder and voluntary manslaughter in the July 19 death of Samuel DuBose, a black motorist whom Tensing shot to death after pulling him over for a missing front license plate.

Tensing’s attorney said the officer feared he would be dragged under the car as Dubose tried to drive away. But, Stinson said, the video from the officer’s body camera shows that his explanation “doesn’t add up.”

Other cases around the country also reveal just how important the video is.

In Marksville, Louisiana, for example, two deputy city marshals were charged with second-degree murder after authorities reviewed video from one of the officers’ body cameras, which showed a man with his hands in the air inside a vehicle when the marshals opened fire. The man was severely wounded and his 6-year-old autistic son killed.

Just how dramatically a video can shift the balance of power was apparent in North Charleston, South Carolina, when officer Michael Slager shot and killed Walter Scott, an unarmed black man as he ran away after a traffic stop.

Slager told investigators that Scott had tried to grab his gun and Taser. But after a video from a cellphone showed Slager taking careful aim at Scott as he ran away and then picking up his Taser and dropping it near Scott’s body, Slager was charged with murder.

“If not for the recording, I have no doubt that the officer in the Walter Scott case would be out on patrol today,” Harris said.

Videos have also played a key role in cases in which the victims were, in fact, armed - something that Tacopina said typically brings to a halt any thought of charging officers.

Chicago prosecutors concluded that McDonald did not pose a threat to Van Dyke, despite the small knife that he was carrying.

Likewise, prosecutors in Albuquerque, New Mexico, charged two officers with second-degree murder of a mentally ill homeless man who was holding two knives when he was shot to death. Defense attorneys have said the officers shot James Boyd out of concern for their lives, but Boyd appears to be turning away from the officers when the shots were fired.

In another case, an officer may owe her freedom to the camera that was attached to her stun gun.

Lisa Mearkle, a police officer in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, was charged with third-degree murder, voluntary and involuntary manslaughter after shooting an unarmed man twice in the back as he laid face-down in the snow. But after watching a video that showed the man’s hands repeatedly disappear under his body as Mearkle shouted at him to keep his hands where she could see them, the jury acquitted Mearkle.

—-

This story has been corrected to indicate that 10 criminal cases involved video, not nine, and that 47 officers were charged from the beginning of 2005, not 2004. Also, the University of Cincinnati officer was charged with voluntary manslaughter, not involuntary manslaughter.
