Buzzfeed is trying to foment a riot here. Cops tazed the perp, but he turned & walked towards the convenience store with a knife in hand, a threat to everyone inside. But Buzzfeed's headline suggests he was not a threat & shot to death for no reason. This is meant to inflame.

😡😡😡😡😡 por mais que fale, por mais que proteste, sempre vai ter um mau caráter para atacar covardemente dessa maneira 😢😢😢

Were the officers scared of the innocent man’s back or that he was about to pull a 007 move? Those officers belong in jail for life.

I can't believe this is still happening! 😡😡😡 If they thought the first wave of BLM protests was too much 'good trouble' they don't want to see what's coming at them. I hope 'red' cities collapse and rot after BLM protests are through with them.

Let’s wait for the facts.

once again...

Whatever the circumstances, I believe the cops should have shot to incapacitate first, rather than going all the way.

“As he walked away” Way to stoke political unrest Buzzfeed. We have no idea what the full extent of it was yet. You just want black people to turn violent for clicks.

Looks like the shots were fired only as he was about to enter an open operating establishment (with people inside) with a weapon, but I’m not an expert on these things.

I dont think black lives matter to them

Yo ,dafaq is happening again ?

another f****k

Let’s wait to see what happened before you rush to judgment I wish you would rush to judgment every time a white person got shot more white people get shot by police every single year than blacks

Ah shit here we go again

People who educate themselves and understand how things work know the data and facts show decreased funding only ever leads to higher crime, lower property value, adversely affecting minority communities. Glad people who actually care and have no agenda are speaking up No policy is perfect. Thanks for sharing the different story.
