Like I said I'm on the fence if this guy was indeed threatening someone with a gun.
What does that matter? If he was threatening someone with a gun and the cops got there and shot him because he was pointing a gun at someone - ok.
But regardless of what happened before, they had him down and were on top of him. At that point, he did not appear to have a gun anymore and was subdued.
Yeah. But that doesn't mean he deserves to die. I'm not going to shed a tear over the death/murder of a sex offender, but it still doesn't make it right. He served his time and was square with the house again.
I did get a chuckle outta this though:
"In a sheriff’s affidavit on another date, Sterling was accused of breaking into a woman’s apartment by making a hole in the wall, and then trying to sell her goldfish for $20."
Stealing an old woman's goldfish
Yeah. But that doesn't mean he deserves to die. I'm not going to shed a tear over the death/murder of a sex offender, but it still doesn't make it right. He served his time and was square with the house again.

In yet another case, Sterling was accused of entering a man’s house and demanding money. He then pushed and shoved the man, “tearing up furniture” and then others arrived to help destroy items, including appliances, the court affidavit says. The court record says that a police officer stopped Sterling, who said he had “tore up the apartment” because the victim had stolen his money. He gave his name as “Otis Deesnuts” and made a reference to a killing and having a barbecue, court records say.
They 8 pieced his dark ass
He grabbed at the officers gun and wasn't subdued. Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
I doubt his sexual assault victim felt he was square with the house. Karma is the ultimate judge and for this guy, judgement was severe. Maybe it'll drag down a ty cop as well.Yeah. But that doesn't mean he deserves to die. I'm not going to shed a tear over the death/murder of a sex offender, but it still doesn't make it right.

1) Its only a huge story because hes black and its that time of the year to remind us how separate we all are from one another
2) He didnt deserve that
3) Why the is he resisting? Everyone pretty much gets resisting = gonna get tazed/sprayed/ or shot
4) These cops should face jail time imho...
RIP man...you didnt deserve to go out like that
I'm a little surprised that you're on the fence about someone being fatally shot for possessing a firearm. At the time he was shot, they had no idea if he was legally carrying a concealed weapon or if he was a felon with no right to the weapon. Due process?
I figured this would be a no brainer for you. Dude was tackled on su ion and shot to death for supposedly having a firearm in possession.
He was convicted and did 4 years time for "carnal knowledge of a minor" when he was 21 years old. For all you know, he could have gotten a blow job from a 16 year old when he was 19.
I'm not 100% on this....just what I've read. (It could very well be incorrect) Said he had "sexual intercourse" with a 14 yo when he was 20 yo.
Did he have a gun? Did he resist arrest?
Resist arrest in what way? It's human nature not to go completely limp when you're pinned to the ground, especially if you fear for your life.
So your position is cops should shoot a suspect in possession of a firearm regardless of whether they know he's legally allowed to have one and regardless of whether it is being used in a threatening manner. Surprising.
Here's how it's done, tbh.
Another shooting today in Minnesota, the passenger actually recorded it via a fb live feed..
ing Pigs.
saw this as well. smh.

Here's the video.. Dude worked at a private school in the cafeteria and had no priors. He let the officer know he had a concealed permit (which you don't even have to do in Minnesota).
Pretty amazing how the woman kept her cool. If she would have freaked out on them, they might have popped her also.
I have never hung out in parking lots or ran the streets. I went to where I was going. Why do so many blacks hang out on streets? Do something, go somewhere, to just hang out.....why? Nothing good comes from just hanging around especially afer dark.
I was more amazed at how freaked out the cop was. Dude sounded like he was having a panic attack.

My position is to obey all orders whether armed legally or illegally.
... or die.
inherent risk when you are carrying a gun legally or illegally and are confronted by police.
