    It'll never end whilst there is a minority ,i say that loosely , of police in the USA that won't upheld the law in a rightious way
    Im watching Trial 4 right now on Netflix , it's compelling , and the police in Boston were the corruptist of corrupt , it's an eye opener

    Some confusion here, the thread refers to an incident in Los Angeles three weeks ago, not the recent tragedy in Memphis.

    I don't think the Police should be shooting him....... but he also shouldn't be carrying a knife......or stabbing people. Anyone who does is always going to run the risk of the ultimate punishment, even if you have no legs

    You would think that a large number of police officers would be able to safely arrest a man with no legs without having to shoot and kill him, even if he was armed with a knife.

    ....... but as I said to Danny @madprof the other day......

    You 'Live by the Sword' ...... you 'Die by the Sword' (GUN in this case) :/

    You are talking absolute b0ll0cks.
    The police are trained to arrest people, without shooting them 8 times and killing them.
    This was not a well built powerful man.
    He was a man with no legs.
    Looking at the video, he probably measured up to the officers waists.
    I am no expert, but you would think that a taser was a preferable option.

    There you go.
    A bigger threat safely handled without killing her.

    To Mr Lowe’s family, the notion that police had to fatally shoot Mr Lowe to protect themselves strains credulity.
    It is not yet clear whether there is any body camera footage of the shooting of Mr Lowe. The footage of the incident captured by the bystander that is posted to social media does not include the shooting itself, while Huntington Beach officials are thus far declining to release footage captured on a nearby business’ security camera and turned over to the sheriff.

    I'm not so sure all US Police carry Tasers....... obv would be a far better option, but we don't know whether the amputee had a Gun too.

    Where do you think Walmart are?
    That was a big clue.
    The woman in the video is twice the size of him, and she just dropped like a sack of sh1t.
    No mention of a gun in the article.
    No evidence of one on the video.
    How can he even be a threat to them when he is running away from them?

    Some might say that he didn’t have a leg to stand on.

    'Come back here and take what's coming to you, I'll bite your legs off!'

    As avid Monty Python fans they had no option but to shoot him.
