According to the police he had a gun and he fired it at them. If so, I feel a lot less sorry for him.
If not, the police deserve to fry.

yea.

the story doesn't quite add up: if the dood already shot at them while driving, I highly highly highly doubt cops would have tried to subsequently subdue with tasers. Cops saying after trying tasers, he "made motions that caused them to fear bodily harm," which prompted the hail of gunfire.

Also not sure how a traffic stop executed on a door dash driver with no priors escalated to a high speed chase, alleged shootout, and straight up execution by firing squad.

cops not answering questions, but apparently some law requires them to release body/dash cam footage within a certain timeframe.

but, for fuck's sake, NINETY shots fired resulting in SIXTY gunshot wounds, head to foot, front and back. Cops kept shooting him even after he was laid out on the ground.

Akron doesn't have dash cams.

Seems strange that he ran in his vehicle and then jumped out while it was rolling and tried to run on foot. All because he had a gun on him?

Your post says he was shot 60 times. Don't think CPR and bandaids do much good with 60 holes in your body.

They were too scared to confront an active shooter but not too scared to harass a woman apparently.

From your article...

"He said the department uses images of a dozen different people, 10 of whom are white and two Black, in line with Michigan’s Commission on Law Enforcement Standards, as well as the city’s demographics. (Farmington Hills is 18.5 percent Black and 62 percent white, according to the 2020 U.S. census.)"

also from the article:

At the meeting, Farmington Police Chief Jeff King apologized. “I’ll take this one on the chin,” King said. “I apologize to each and every person in this room, this community, my department, my city council, my city manager. I can’t overlook this.”

perceptions matter, numbnutz

but, you do you

What kind of images would you prefer they use? Do the 10 white images bother you? Just the 2 black images? Equal? More? Less?

one would think that given your supposed personal connection to law enforcement, that you of all people would be an advocate for them nurturing the public’s perception

but, i guess you’ve got other priorities/motivations

Should they use all white guys? Would that bother you? Maybe have a dinosaur instead of a human?

Seems like an awfully stupid thing to be OuTRagEd about. But you're woke af bro.

man, so Akron just released some body cam footage.

cops allege he fired shots at them while driving away. Also allege he was wearing a ski mask, and that they found a gun, magazine, and wedding ring in his car, as if to suggest he had just robbed someone. I guess the bootlickers get their told-you-so.

in a frantic situation, suspect's car slows to a roll, while cop car after cop car is pulling up so fast that one cop almost gets run over by another. The suspect tries to get one out one side of his rolling car, then the other. Indeed, at least one cop appears to have a taser out. The suspect gets out and runs, with a shitload of cops in pursuit, guns drawn. The second he stops running and turns around, cops unload.

8 cops standing in front of one another, jumping out of one another's way as they begin firing, standing in a semi-circle on either side of him, unloading all at once, 90+ bullets in a matter of seconds, ricocheting off the pavement, most of which were fired once he was already laying motionless on the ground, shots continuing as at least one cop amongst the circle seems to wave his arm trying to call off the others...it's amazing the only casualty was Jayland Walker.
