defund the cops

We don't know what led up to it, of. Course it's a video after the fact

why ya'll think defunding the cops will change anything, just hold them accountable in court

also vote trump and his fellow crackers out of office, we ain't gonna take it in 2020

Defunding them will force them to start cutting the racist cops that keep creating lawsuits. Make those bad cops expensive

they'll fire everyone but the racists if we being honest, they tend to stick together

Defunding caps will also cut back on training.

It’s intense, but not deserving to die.

The “worst” I’ve read was —
Pulled over for DUI
was aggravated, resisted police, got into a tussle, wrestled, etc

Then ran away, one cop ran after him with taser, another fired shots

There is absolutely no reason he needed to be shot.

Edit- can not confirm the DUI/why cops came in first place, but there is video of the brawl.

The fact that he was shot running away, in the back makes it so much worse. THERE WAS NO THREAT TO OFFICER LIFE

People need to let this “defund cops” trend die.

Does the media report every time a car doesn’t crash or a house doesn’t catch on fire? No.

Non-confrontational interactions with cops doesn’t make the news and doesn’t get tweeted/retweeted. So when people use this stuff to justify defunding police, it just makes 0 sense.

We still don't know everything it's spotty at best

Bro, but they didn’t shoot him while they were wrestling. In that case, it may even make sense if they thought he was trying to take their gun.

But he was running away, there was no threat to any human life.

This is such a f***ing stupid take. Not a single action of his warranted THE DEATH PENALTY, which is what he received by a random f***ing cop.

And just when it looks like the George Floyd protests are losing a little momentum...

BOOM We get smacked with another disgusting murder. And we back to where we were at on May 26th.

Like how f***ing brain dead do you have to be to try and justify this lmao

These cops couldn’t detain someone who was drunk without killing them? Someone who was running away, without a weapon?

This speaks to the ineptitude of cops.

Man I’m heated

Did they have to kill him though

Like sure, dude was drunk and resisting but do YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM THOUGH

A drunk guy at Wendy’s should not be dealt with by use of a gun lmao. It’s that simple.

A gun shouldn’t even be in the vicinity.

Hero is a f***ing moron

If you have a gun and refuse to surrender it, and you decided to run off there's a big chance you'll get shot.

If the officer felt himself where in danger by letting him run free, then believe it or not they can shoot him, even if fleeing.

Cops are not, have not, and will NEVER be the judge, jury and executor. If he is guilty, tase him and arrest him. Don't be a f***ing coward and shoot him in the back, LOOKING for an excuse to kill him. Disgusting abuse of power.

And the NYPD wonders why we treat them like thugs and animals. BRO YOU TREAT US LIKE ANIMALS!!! F*** YOU.

A black drunk man by default is seen as more dangerous than a suburban white drunk guy

Chill

He had a gun? I don’t think so.

And even if he did...why wouldn’t he use it lmao? He clearly had no intent of firing it
