    In America, you are legally allowed to have a gun.

    There’s no real reason to think this guy was a criminal.

      Yes, you can have a gun, but holding it opening in front of an officer is asking for trouble.

          No literally. Legally you can have a gun. Legally, you cannot be brandishing it in public. He’s right LMAO

            Did you watch the video? He’s dropping the guns. He drops one in the driveway right in front of the camera. Then he’s in the process of dropping the second when the police officer shoots him.

            You cannot give people the right to bear arms and then shoot them for complying with police orders.

              Ah, you got me there, I was looking away when the dude dropped the first.

              Complying with orders, is that what the guy was doing when he was running?

                  Lol don’t get facetious with me. You and I both know you don’t run from the cops, regardless of your feelings about them. If you’re detained, for instance, by a cop with a gun, then you’re not free to go. You know this, you’re just being an asshole.

                    Ah yes. Now citizens have to follow the unwritten rules and unsaid commands as well. Law abiding citizens are psychic, and famously calm under pressure.

          Guns are the problem. Take away the guns in this situation neither party is going to die.
          I get that American cops have a very bad rep but I can’t imagine having to work each day wondering if today is the day you’re going to get killed on the job. It’s no wonder they get trigger happy. Kill or be killed etc.
