NYC Police shoot and kill unarmed man!

Getting out of hand in NYC? Or are they in the right to do so? No easy choice for a policemen, but reason seems to be thrown out the window lately.

A tragedy of course, the question is if it could be avoided.

I love me a good NYPD police smashing....

But I cannot.

When you are compliant, they generally do not shoot you.

Even if you think the reason you got pulled over for is "bullcrap", or "they be messin with you cuz you a minority", whatever.

He says show your hands, show your damn hands, and say yes sir.

You put them at ease, and they generally treat you better.

Not saying they were not trigger happy, but had he put his hands out the window, and complied with the LEO, this would not have happened.

I want to know what he had to hide.

This is not the Empire state building shooting, where they sprayed into a crowd, this was a man reaching for something after he was told to show hands.

Having drawn a weapon before but never having discharged it I would say......you need to be there to know what the situation was and assess how you would react in a similar situation.

After the wheelchair thread, I must say, well said both soppy and Jim.

I really don't get it what up with these guys

Whenever I'm pulled over or stopped by the police I just comply it'll be over sooner for me and their day is made a bit easier.

Love that bit, so what was going through his head when he was reaching for that power drill? Does he think the Police likes to be pranked and/or as a police it's all about having fun and laugh when those silly civilians got you real good?

The loss of any life is a tragedy.

After reading this, I need some levity.

Ah, the title of this thread will do nicely.
