Reply to comment by Yousoggyyojimbo in Police in Shreveport accused of fatally shooting unarmed Black man who was running away by WE-NEED-MORE-CATS

They shouldn’t be allowed to shoot unless they happen upon a capital offense in progress.

Why are so many people ok with cops carrying out the death penalty on a suspect, pretrial?

It should be acceptable to use deadly force when either protecting your life or someone else's. That's what I'm getting at, and murder is a capital offense where they do executions, so... Do we need a map?

Pretty much. Personally I think cops should mostly be disarmed, but I’m pretty sure that’s a super unpopular opinion.

I agree with that.

If they weren't armed to the teeth all day every day they might have to learn to approach incidents like human beings.

Cops have framed innocent people for a long time. What would stop them from continuing that?
