Terrible situation, you don't shoot people that far away and on the ground.
However did you really just compare drunk kids falling over, pissing in public, puking and being loud mouths to someone running in the middle of a road while carrying a knife not listing to police officers commands at gun point? Not even gonna address the white only remark.
Same situation? Not quite, that's fair. The reason I'm bringing it up is because JSS was using this as an example of non-compliance or resistance and people act like non-compliance means the gloves are off when it comes to these situations. Which is insane to me. And the reason I bring it up is when I lived in a low income neighborhood in PG county Maryland outside of DC, I saw the differences between how black-teens are policed by white cops in these neighborhoods. If some of the kids in that neighborhood pulled the insubordination I watch college kids pull on cops in Columbus? They'd have the bruises to show for it, or worse.
And yes, I truly believe that if this was the typical messed up white kid I see in the middle of the street out on high st in a college town and he happened to have a 3 inch knife walking away from police officers barking orders? No, I don't think that kid in that situation gets 16 bullets in him. You can disagree with me if you want, but this is what my personal experiences lead me to believe.
