In Minneapolis the other day a patrolman pulled a car over for a busted tail light. A woman driver and a minor in the back seat. The man in the passenger seat told the cop he had a conceal carry permit and was armed. The cop told him not to reach for his weapon, but the guy did and the cop plugged him with four rounds. The man was black and died at the hospital.
What is going on? How do we interpret these events? I'm not sure yet, but violence will probably continue to escalate. How much of it will be justified, and how much will not? I don't know.

Originally posted by Very RustyI saw it too. It looked like the cop just stood up and shot him. Apparently, from what I heard, the man was a felon and armed. Was he trying to go for his weapon? We'll see what the investigation comes up with.

It looked like murder, but I wasn't there. The cop may have feared for his life at that moment and did as his training taught him. Hopefully the truth will come out.

Guns need to be taken away from law enforcement.
Gun bans fix all our ills.
What a great idea.

Originally posted by josephwThere were two cops, looked to me like they had him pinned pretty good including his arms. At least that is the way I saw it.

Originally posted by Very RustyYes. It wasn't good quality video. Too distant to see what was happening up close. The guy may have been trying to bring a gun to bear on the cop. I can't see why else the cop would just stand up and shoot him. Something's missing from the picture.

Then again, the guy might have been telling the cop how he banged his mother and the cop snapped. If the cop murdered the man he's going down. Rightly so.
