Shocking new video shows unarmed Utah man was listening to headphones when killed by police

Shocking new video shows unarmed Utah man was listening to headphones when killed by police.

No one, throughout mankind's history has ever listened to headphones, unless of course, headphones is a group? The title should be "Utah man wearing headphones when killed by police officer." You listen 'with', you listen 'on', but you never listen 'to'...phones. If you want to be taken seriously, ensure your grammar and syntax and spelling is correct.

By the way, the police officer who shot and killed the guy wearing headphones should be prosecuted for manslaughter, because he was neither trained nor ready for street work.

Until the American people get off their asses and sort out the obvious police problem running rife and rampant across the whole country, I will continue to perceive all American cops as thugs and killers (yes, I'm tarring them all with the same brush), and the American people as cowards. If you are a cop, and believe yourself to be a good cop, then it is incumbent upon you, for the sake of your profession, and for the sake of the health and lives of the American public to not support, or help to condone bad cops, unprofessional cops, or thugs in uniform. I blame good cops for staying silent and inert!

Why does not this occur in many other western countries. Only in Amerika, your whole culture of it is alright to kill someone or bomb some country if they dont kiss you ass. One day the amerikan people will learn the hard way that violence and oppression doesnt pay. Down under it is rare for a police officer to kill a citizen and when it happens it is usually for a damn could reason such as the suspect is going for the police officers gun or the suspect is firing on police officers. If other less lethal methods could be used they usually are. Police officers here are made to do a three year policing degree
A simple unarmed quad copter with camera and loud speaker could save police officers lives if you are worried about police officers lives. If a suspect starts firing on the police quad copter you would know the suspect is armed and dangerous, if not the suspect is probably not armed and it gives suspects much more time to react without endangering police officers lives

For the first time on this site, someone brought up a video of a police shooting that actually did look like a straight up murder.

The only thing that had to be done different to avoid murdering this guy was the stupid cop actually being able to shoot well enough to not have to aim center mass and blow out the guy's lungs a heart, he could have popped him in the thigh and cuffed him as he went into shock within seconds.

Why do these pricks get wasted (cops)..?, well partially because some of them deserve to be.

Headphones are a really stupid thing to use because your hearing is your last defense, the only sense that never shuts off. I have seen people hit by cars because they didn't hear them coming, drive along on a nearly flat tire or with their car on fire because they can't hear people yelling at them that something is wrong. Aside from the common sense factor (the fact so many have so little, and the fact that it is straight up illegal and stupid to drive with headphones for good reason) the guy didn't deserve to be murdered for not being able to hear.
