- People protesting should be ashamed. -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 07:14 2
  - People should keep protesting these things until African-Americans feel safe and protected by white cops. And until extreme gun control is implemented - David Oct 9, 07:57

- with a sandwich, according to his family. - znufrii Oct 9, 07:08
- I think the only unknown is did the off-duty cop have the right to pursue the three men because he thought one was armed? - Inigo Oct 9, 06:45 3

  - He was working security for the neighborhood and had on his police uniform. -- nm - spamlet Oct 9, 06:52
  - The story is strange. Officer first chases suspect. Then suspect approaches cop aggressively. - Loyola Oct 9, 06:49
- definitely. but the location could really blow it up -- nm - Beaker Oct 9, 06:41 5
  - It almost did last night because protesters refused to believe he could have been armed. -- nm - spamlet Oct 9, 06:51

    - I think the real issue is that these deaths do happen every day, and are so easily accepted. -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:53 2
      - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 9, 06:54

"The officer fired 17 shots" -- nm - Beaker Oct 9, 06:38 11
- seems a tad excessive (how many bullets do guns hold these days?). but him shooting in the first place seems warranted. -- nm - Andie Oct 9, 06:39 10
  - He'd have had to reload at least once, probably twice. -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:48 9

      - Something I was reading the other day said that 70-80% of shots fired miss. - Ender Oct 9, 07:11 2
        
        Right, which is all the more reason we need to let every gun-nut have open-carry for those random situations they are in a live fire situation. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 9, 07:25 1
        
        Well, what I was reading was specifically talking about FBI agents. I would imagine the random gun nut's better trained... -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 07:36
      - Ah, thanks -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:58
    - nah, an extended clip will hold 17-20 rounds. -- nm - decline Oct 9, 06:51 3
      - Hell, even my mag holds 15. -- nm - Ender Oct 9, 07:10
      - Do police use those though? -- nm - Roger More Oct 9, 06:56
      - Should I be scared you know this? :) -- nm - budice Oct 9, 06:55
