Oh and from the video:
Yes, that woman just said that by setting their local BP gas station on fire they are solving the race issue in America.
I wonder who the owners of the BP gas station will vote for in November?

If the suspect did not run to begin with, we would never need to even travel down this rabbit hole.
White, Black, Brown, Yellow, Purple, or Pink I don not care what color you are... The vast majority of police officers are not corrupt, when they pull you over you are still "Innocent until proven guilty," but running away will not help your case one iota.

Watching the news and they're reporting the protesters locked gas station employees inside before setting fire to it. What the hell?!! Even if the protesters didn't lock them in, it's still murder if they set fire to the place knowing there were people inside and they died. What is wrong with them?!!!
Does anyone know if there were deaths? (besides the armed suspect?)

b) was the man posing a threat to other persons with his weapon(or like to injure someone with the weapon)
c) what is the protocol for shooting a fleeing suspect?
A man running around in public with a weapon can be construed as a threat to others. He could take hostages or shoot someone else to cause a distraction. Cops can shoot if they believe he poses a threat.

Where is the rioting, looting , destruction for the Cop that was just shot and killed by another waste of flesh criminal while investigating a suspicious person?
What about the Cop that was stabbed in the face by a different person?
Right, I forgot it's 2016 and no criminal can be blamed for anything .
I hope that they release the video and it shows that the criminal pointed the gun at the officer while running. If the video doesn't show that then I hope the officer does the time that is required for whatever crime he is found guilty of..
All that being said, hypocracy runs rampant currently. Shoot a criminal, it's never justified. Shoot a cop and you are defending the repressed inner city youth of America.
It's a sad time we live in when the acts of a small % on both sides of the equation drive the results we all have to deal with...

Just to play devils advocate... a man 'running around in public with a gun' is anyone practicing open carry, and technically anyone practicing concealed carry.
I could take and shoot a hostage at any moment, too- does that mean I should be executed on the spot?

If a man runs from police and is armed then it makes sense for the cop to shoot him.
Tearing up your own neighbourhood in a fit of rage makes no sense at all.
