A clear hate crime and a cold blooded execution. The cop is a cowardly thug and he must be found guilty of murder.

Didn't you hear? Only black people can be thugs. That's why this guy is dead. The cop was just doing his job. Look, after the police investigate themselves, they'll find they did no wrong doing. Trust me!

If that happens they should go and trash the whole town. And if the police officer personally after being freed is such a dishonest and immoral douche bag that he's unwilling to take his moral responsibility, and he refuses to go to jail by his own choice, then people must try to stalk and harrass the man for the rest of his cowardly life.

From my understanding, he was informing the police officer that he legally had a gun in his possession, and that he was reaching for his wallet. If you're concealing and carrying, this is typical to do, and it's to avoid situations like this. The man was perfectly within the confines of the law, and he was trying to make things go smoothly, the cop is a hot headed idiot, and was in no immediate danger. No matter how you slice it, this guy murdered and innocent civilian, and you shouldn't be exempt from murder just because you have badge.

In my CHL class the specifically tell you to let them know you have a CHL. Doesn't really matter this cop will get off like they all do.

Obviously this is a extreme example, but I think people need to chill on the cop crucifying. Seriously, we pay these guys crap to literally put their lives on the line for us. Everyday cops are shot and killed on duty, they need to be able to protect themselves. Not to mention that we generally only hear one side of these stories for months because of the ongoing investigation the cops can't explain themselves to the public.

Do some cops use excessive force, yes. But the vast majority are good decent guys and all this outrage makes their lives that much harder... And sooner or later... Nobody is going to want to be a cop anymore, and then where will we be?

Instead of reaching for his wallet, the innocent victim should have refused the cop's demands. It was the innocent victim's action of reaching for the wallet as requested by the cop that triggered the cop to shoot his gun. It clearly shows the corruption and injustice within the legal system when rogue cops get away with execution style murders in America.

Indeed. I take my jabs in these kinds of posts but I never let it slip my mind that cops are constantly terrified. The job is among the most stressful ever. I never got the whole "they are paid crap" thing - they actually make okay-ish money but even if each cop made a million dollars it still isn't worth a life. But I do totally understand the "it's me or him" lifestyle these guys have to live. The worst could happen to any of us on the way to/from or at work but those numbers quadruple for a cop. Not to mention in a country where, if you were foreign and watched American news on tv, would think all cops are trigger happy racists.
