George Floyd was not shot and likely died from a massive MI induced by extensive heart disease and drug overdose.
So, there is more of a problem here than don’t run over cops. Yes, in that situation because America has so many guns our law enforcement has to take a neutralizing approach to criminal apprehensions. For the record, this is not a normal law enforcement approach in most other countries because they don’t have to factor in danger to the community in a fleeing suspect the way we do because of the gun situation. Now, this particular incident is a police failure of planning very much like the middle of the night no knock warrant in the Breanna Taylor killing. The law enforcement failure was they chose to execute an arrest warrant on a suspect in the drivers seat of an operational car. They created a situation that was basically a coin flip in that the suspect would try to flee. Whoever gave the order to execute the warrant in that situation failed to take into account the safety of the officers and the suspect. That warrant should have been executed in a much more favorable manner for both the officers and the suspect.
The leftist crime fighting plan is that when a violent criminal resists or runs the police must let him go. That way he can get right back into the community committing more violent crimes. Another solution brought to you by the party of intellectuals.
The thread is about blacks being shot by the police. I watched enough of the trial to know that George Floyd was not shot by police. As a side point, he likely died due to his self destructive behavior.
Well the police have the legal right to neutralize a fleeing suspect they have reason to believe is a threat to the community. I addressed that this is basically a uniquely American problem because of the a availability of guns in America. In most other countries law enforcement takes a corralling approach to fleeing or resisting suspects because they don’t have the immediate threat of guns.
