there was a shooting last night at a Wendy's that resulted in the GA NAACP calling for her resignation.

Here's the video -- (link*) - Strongbad Jun 13, 14:51 12
- There is no way I’m making a call on 6 seconds of video. -- nm - Qale Jun 13, 15:04
- I'm not sure what led up to that, but honestly if a suspect turns and points a weapon at you... - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:01 10
  - It started with a guy asleep at the wheel in the drive-thru at Wendys -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 15:11 9
    - This is exactly the point. I made the same point when there was that video of the crazy white woman who got tazed by police. Not every action needs to -- (edited) - pmb Jun 13, 15:17 8
      - At a run, in the dark, he turned and pointed a weapon at cops. I ain’t faulting a cop for shooting him then. - Will Hunting Jun 13, 15:25 7
        
        Maybe. But again, this is the police escalating the situation. The guy ran. He had every reason to be afraid for his life (as proved). Let him go. - pmb Jun 13, 15:55 4
        
        former LAPD chief said the cop was just too lazy to chase the guy, the taser was near useless if discharged already -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 16:18 1
        
        They apparently have 2 charges -- nm - Ender Jun 13, 16:21
        
        Exactly. Once they're called, they have purchase to kill. So the natural response becomes their excuse to exercise their power. - Beryllium Jun 13, 16:00
        
        Yep. Police need evidence-based de-escalation training. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 13, 15:57
        
        Word -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 15:38
        
        Probably figured he was a dead man either way. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 15:29
