Madison Hippie points gun at police and ... DOESN'T get shot! How do you explain this, Dude?
Already covered the Tamir situation. Pay attention.
Tamir Rice committed no crime but was still shot in the head. The guy in Wal-Mart committed no crime but was still shot and killed. The police who shot him faced no punishment for shooting him.
Can you read? I condemned the Tamir case. The selective hearing of people who disagree with me is astounding.
And the second example? The one where the guy didn't do anything, was still shot and killed and the police got away with no punishment?
Well, you're not condemning all cops as racist craplords, so therefore you approve of every single cop's actions every single time.

The shortened version of your post:
Don't commit a crime.
Huh.
Do you disagree with the premise that breaking the law and resisting arrest are surefire ways to increase your risk in life? If I get pulled over for speeding, even for just 1 mph over the limit, and instead of being polite, flip the cop off and floor it, I shouldn't expect there to be a welcoming committee waiting for me when the officers catch up.
Of course I don't disagree with your strawman. You guys keep offering rebuttals to the non-existant argument: "We should all feel super bad for criminals that end up getting wrongfully killed by cops." My interest here is entirely: "Cops should be held accountable when they kill people wrongfully."

They said it was a combination of the chokehold and kneeling on his chest.The NY case: given that the ME said the hold (call it a chokehold, call it whatever you want) was NOT the cause of death, then despite what I think of that particular law (the loosie law), the cops acted correctly.
The Walmart thing...from the article that was linked:
after he failed to respond to calls to drop his weapon
There's your problem. Carrying a gun (toy or not) that looks like a gun, and failing to follow instructions....sorry, buddy.
And all of us are NOT saying 100% of cops are good. They are not. They are human.
Has anyone argued differently? Of course cops should be held responsible if they break the law or act inappropriately.

The guy was talking on his cell phone and wasn't even looking at the police when they shot him.
But yeah, every case of police brutality (except one!) is the fault of the dead victim. The police never do anything wrong. The fact that it's a black man who ends up dead is just a coincidence. That a white person can POINT A GUN at police and not suffer any consequences is also a coincidence. Sorry to have troubled you.
And again, no one has argued that.Happy coincidence that they never break the law and always act appropriately whenever a black man ends up dead.
