This is scary. If people for whatever reason just think I'm a danger to others despite not waiving a gun at anyone or threatening anyone I deserve to die. Apparently having a gun means your immediately gonna use it. Which seems contrary to what 2nd amenders usually say. I guess only certain types of people can carry weapons.
I hate to take the form of a multiple choice test, but which of the following was true: (1) Terrance Walker had a gun. (2) Terrance Walker disobeyed orders from the police. (3) Terrance Walker resisted arrest by running from the police. (4) All of the above.
Your argument, "If people for whatever reason just think I'm a danger to others despite not waiving a gun at anyone or threatening anyone I deserve to die.", irresponsibly ignores certain facts about Terrance Walker's actions.
It's cherry-picking in the worst way.
Answer these multiple choice questions.
(1) Terrance Walker was pointing the gun at an officer.
(2) Terrance Walker was pointing the gun at anyone.
(3) Terrance Walker shot a firearm at someone or at all.
(4) None of the above.
What am I "cherry-picking" exactly? You guys are putting in cherries that aren't there.
Can someone help me understand how someone running away, while having a gun, is a lethal threat. It's admittedly scary yeah, but he's running away. I'd like cops of all people to manage to not be so scared.
Do people who are running away routinely turn around and open fire against cops? Like is that a thing? I feel like i'm missing something here or you guys are placing extra fear in the situation.
