Looks like the media is trying to start a riot with their coverage. Glad this didn't happen here. 4951

The guy had a gun. Cops want to go home to their families too. 4951

I think there needs to be some officer retraining.
In the recent Baton Rouge case, the owner of the shop said that the police pulled the gun out of the guy's pocket after they shot & killed him. Is that standard police behavior?

@Zoey:  I am going to go out on a limb here and say the police on that scene had more training than the store owner and were in a better position to see what was happening than the store owner who was in the store at the time.And assuming that the gun was in the suspect's pocket, what if he w's reaching for it? at what point do they get to defend themselves?

@chilladahun:
 
Perhaps I didn't see the same news report. According to CBSNEWS, the shop owner's video clearly shows all the action which he couldn't have gotten while inside the shop.
 
Can your " assuming & what if " statements be used in any police interaction? What if a person who carries is stopped for any reason, and the officer sees the gun? Can he shoot them & say what if? Where is the line drawn?
 
When I was younger, my brilliant father was a cop & he related many incidents. From what he experienced, it
 
would certainly be beneficial if there were ongoing training classes.

@Zoey: they are cops not doctors. Removing the gun so it is out of reach of the suspect is standard protocol I believe.
 
Just because they think he is dead doesn't mean he is dead
 
 
@mm4731:
 
I'm not a doctor either, but stunning a guy, restraining him on the ground, & shooting him 4 to 6 times, I think I'd even be able to know that he was dead.

@Zoey:
 
Sterling is on the sex offender registry in Louisiana after a 2000 conviction for carnal knowledge of a juvenile, according to online records. He was released in 2004.

He's was a convicted drug dealer and had a long criminal history. He was a felon who was not allowed to have a gun. Hmmm wonder if his gun was registered. 4951
