The police shot Rodney Hinton Jr. Son in a an apparently justified shooting so he rammmed his car into the police officers cruiser and killed him. Black people on social media are now advocating for raising money for him.
The question is when does this stop
I wouldn't call a shooting where the suspect was running away as justified.

This is the bizarre wall we have to break through. It’s like society has been conditioned to endlessly sympathize with the criminal. “Well, he wasn’t pointing the gun at the cop”. As if life is a painting or movie you can pause and get all the details of before making a decision.
The cop doesn’t have complete clarity if the guy was pointing the gun or not, he just knew he was in a dangerous situation with someone armed and willing to break the fucking law. Even if he wasn’t pointing the gun how long would it have been for him to turn and take some shots at the cop or awkwardly fire off a couple rounds with even turning to face the cop completely?
If he has a gun, it’s justified. Cops aren’t waiting for someone to shoot at them. This isn’t like secret service where they wait until the shooter gets a shot off before engaging. /s
I would. Allowing an armed felon the opportunity to regroup is not justified, as it's an easy way to walk into an ambush or a hostage situation.
Context is king.
I know, its sad, that I dont trust the cops. To many times these fuckers have lied only for a bodycam to prove the opposite happened.
Fuck man I still think about that poor kid tamir rice, that shit made me super sad, just a 14 yo playing with a toy gun because his mom didnt want him playing with them at home, Truly fucking tragic.
I look at people man, I dont see the color of their skin. I seriously cant be the one of the few here like that lmao.
You are since blacks overwhelmingly commit crimes and the media blatantly sees colors and has yelled fuck whitey with increasing intensity for the past 30 years. Being colorblind isn’t some moral clarity or high road it’s burying your head in the sand.
I'd say klling a kid with a toy gun is burying your head in the sand too
It's not the color of the skin that makes them behave like niggers, it's the content of their character.
What's carrying a toy gun have to do with character?
I agree! Is there any context that makes this killing justified?
Sure, there are justified reasons for shooting people in the back. I'm not informed enough of this shooting to call it justified or not. I'm just suggesting that your blanket statement is an absolute that shouldn't be an absolute
Then we agree
Allowing an active shooter run rampant in a populated area is fucking retarded.
Was he an active shooter?
He committed a felony while armed and then fled while armed so yes it is legally and morally justified to shoot him
What was the felony?
