@1:08 Yes. The message is if you resist arrest, punch a cop in the face, run down the street with a gun, drop it, then attempt to pick it back up - the police does have a right to "neutralize" you. It's been a well-established, world-wide rule for decades now if not longer. The man already had shown he is willing to do harm to an officer of the law. My question is - who taught black men they can just walk away from an arrest? Oh, speaking of single parent households...

Stop resisting sounds like a good way to stay alive.

The one common theme in all of these case was resisting arrest.

Punch a cop, win a prize!!! Ding, Ding, Ding!!! He won!!!

“But it’s not clear if he aimed the weapon at them or not.” Brandishing a weapon to an officer is a death wish, sorry not sorry.

Resisting arrest and he had a stolen weapon...plus he struck an officer multiple times.

No, they have a right to defend themselves against agressive, armed persons of any color.

[jimbobfisher]

That guy has a point, no bodycams rendering any other information useless but the officers.

They’re saying they have the right to defend their lives from violent criminals

[mickeykyker]

What are criminals actually saying? They have a right to resist arrest, they have a right to punch a police officer, they have a right to go for their gun. Why in the world has this become so twisted.

What is so hard to understand about “stop”, “on the ground”, “hands Up”? Are you saying you’re too stupid to understand? Are you saying you want SPECIAL treatment and be able to do whatever you want? Follow the friggin law. Obey the commands of the police. Don’t resist arrest. Don’t carry a

Title should say, Rioters and Looters protest shooting of man who resisted arrest..

[joemunoz]

Im sure he lawfully had a permit to own and carry that firearm .. he was running because he was late to work

[MinayaIsaac]

The guy was going for the gun. what is the cop suppose to do??? People are stupid acting like they wouldn't do the same.

[brianchase]

Isn't that how we all roll? Cops want to talk to you and you run, right? When a cop catches up to you, you punch the officer in the face, right? When your concealed weapon is spotted, the police officers should offer you hugs and give you a chance to murder them. Anything short of hugs is just racist. Now let's go burn some stuff.

Stop the police (lawyers, judges, criminal system) catch and release (equals overtime and jobs for lawyers) and most of this scum would be in prison! BUILD MORE

Protest before the facts and make blatant generic race bating comments. That'll helpour community. And whos brilliant idea was to interview Rhaeem. He don't know what he's talking about and just repeating stuff he heard from a meme.

Don’t punch a cop in the face while holding a gun..

[chuckboy]

"But it's not clear if he AIMED the gun at deputies..."
Wait, so if someone pulls a gun on a cop, they have to wait for guy to point the gun at them before they can shoot? Seems pretty unsafe for the deputies.

Another criminal who doesn’t comply. I bet he reached for it as well.
