    Carrying a gun while roaming the streets isn’t allowed everywhere, and neither is pointing them at people - especially police officers while they’re trying to detain you for stealing a car.

      Is stealing a car punishable by a death sentence? Is possessing a firearm punishable by a death sentence? If either of those things were punishable by a death sentence, cops are not judge jury and executioner. There is a thing called due process. There is no proof the guy even had a gun. The cop SAID he had one, and cops are well known for carrying around throw away guns, to plant on people after they have killed them. The video doesn’t show a gun but miraculously one was found next to the guy afterward. It must have fallen from heaven.

        No, but pointing a loaded gun at a police officer while stealing a car is.

        cops are not judge jury and executioner

        They are in certain situations though, typically ones where suspected criminals - especially ones caught in the act - point guns at them. Every time they are there will be an investigation to determine if it was a lawful shooting, and if it isn’t they will face consequences (though very often those consequences will NOT be harsh enough, but that’s a different story).

        There is a thing called due process.

        There’s a thing called obeying the law too, and this kid didn’t follow that. “Due process”, the flavour of the month for the left, believe it or not DOES include police shooting suspects to death in certain circumstances.

        There is no proof the guy even had a gun.

        You haven’t seen it, though it reportedly exists. We’ll see when the final reports come out.

        The cop SAID he had one, and cops are well known for carrying around throw away guns, to plant on people after they have killed them.

        Ok so you’ve jumped straight to “it’s a conspiracy”. Good for you, but the rest of us like to wait for actual evidence and “due process” to play out. It is currently being investigated. If it is proven that he did have a gun, what will you say then?
