[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tec: [QB] I get the situation far better then you might think. First of all you are not the last authority on the matter of cops doing their jobs. As I have already stated you do not have all the facts, who says the suspect was still fleeing. He could have done any number of things to give the officer reason to believe he had a weapon and was going to use it. You were not there and neither was I. I don't trust the media to give all the information for use to really know what happend. So you cannot say that the officer shot a suspect who was unarmed and fleeing. He may have been fleeing but the officer had no way of knowing if he was armed or not. I never said cops are above the law nor do I believe that they should be. They are there to protect us from ourselves by the laws that we create. They may not be above the law but they are allowed to protect themselves while upholding it. As I and everyone else sees this a mistake was made, a bad one that caused a young man his life. To just out right blame the police is stupid. We don't know what the mistake was. Was it an officer who reacted poorly to the situation or was it a supsect who gave the officer a reason to believe that he had a weapon and intended to use it. This young man did not die because of his past record, he died because of his present actions. All I am saying is to stop attacking the police before you know the whole truth because if you do you become no better then the rioters. [/QB][/QUOTE]
