Kevin Lewis posts: "I have always asked, but never received an answer: why do police shoot to kill?"
Poor old DonDiego opines the answer to many questions can be found on the internets.
And it turns out simply googling "Why do police shoot to kill" provides the answer which KevinLewis has been unable to find:
Why Police Don't Shoot to Wound
How does one become Kevin's age, and still think that it's easy to "wing" a person? Apparently Kevin is a fan of old Westerns. I trust that Kevin has never tried to shoot a running rabbit. Hitting a standing rabbit from 50 feet is difficult with a hand gun.
The only "shooting" Kevin does is shooting off his mouth...

Her point for reviewing his lengthy rap sheet is the same reason that I assumed that Floyd was a criminal. Those in Floyd's situation tend to be criminals. If cops are going after all sorts of black people at a disproportionately high rate, then why can't BLM find an upstanding young man who was wrongly killed by cops? Wouldn't that fine student, Boy Scout and Kroger bagger who was only preparing himself for life be a martyr of choice? You know why, BLM knows why, and I know why. Punks of all colors are getting roughed up, and there are more black punks than white punks.
The cop should go to jail for a long time. That's also her point. That's also my point. We can talk about two wrongs at the same time, or is that too difficult.
Is she racist? A white man arguing the same point is tagged with this label by several on this site, so those people must believe that she's racist, right? I’ve not heard Kevin or Mister call this black woman a racist. She’s one of few people of any color who has the guts to verbalize the truth about problems in the black community. She’s one of the few who challenges the black man to be better. She understands that the excuses, coddling, and pandering is having detrimental effects.
I cant even begin to comprehend what you are saying.
The cops are being correctly prosecuted for their murder, you say.
But since the unarmed, unresisting murder victim was a crook then BLM should not protest his death or point to him as a legitmate example of systemic, racist police violence ?
There's nothing to protest unless cops murder an "upstanding young man"?
Floyd did not resist arrest. He did not threaten the cops. And he was unarmed. So you either take issue with that or you dont. Option "C" is to run to Floyd's criminal past in an effort to divert attention away from his flagrant murder and deligitmize the ensuing protests. Looks like you and Candace Ownes went for Option "C".
I don't know if it has been said yet but Candace Ownes is a professional conservative commentator. In other words, she gets paid to tell conservatives what they want to hear. Telling conservatives what they want to hear is the easiest high-paying gig in the world.
You might as well have posted commentary from Sean Hannity.
"I don't know if it has been said yet but Candace Ownes is a professional conservative commentator" --- So let me get this straight, if one states the obvious then they are now considered a "professional conservative commentator". Mark prefers to overlook the truth and affixes a label on someone who does not share his viewpoint -in order to negate the truth. -- I believe this method of action comes directly from page 4 of the Lying Liberals Handbook.
Stalker knows very well what conservative propaganda is and how drastically it differs from "THE TRUTH."

When did I say that it was easy? When did I use the term "wing," for that matter? You so love to "accuse" me of saying things I never said.
Of course it isn't easy to be accurate with a hand-held firearm. However, one thing Boilerman may not know is that most guns can fire more than one bullet. Shooting several times at a fleeing person's legs will be very likely to stop him. That's supposedly the the goal of shooting at a fleeing suspect--to stop him, not to kill him.
Also---aren't police, y'know, TRAINED in using firearms? Maybe the average Joe couldn't pick up a gun and hit something fifty feet away, but a police officer should be able to. And you know what else? The fact that when police try to kill a fleeing suspect, they usually succeed, tells me that they have good aiming skills.
The real reason they shoot to kill is because they love to kill. Again, only speaking of the bad cops.
The key words are "fleeing suspect". Why is the "suspect" fleeing? If one has done nothing wrong, then there is no reason to "flee". See how that works?

You really are something, why would you shoot someone who was running away from you? Do you feel threatened? Can you chase him? Man you are such a racist.
