What will be lost in all this is the reality that two you daughters will have to grow up without their father!!!

So it is OK to kill someone to stop them (perceived threat) but NOT OK to shoot out their tires to stop them? That doesn't make sense unless you miss the tire and kill a bystander.....

Since when did it become a Capital Crime to disobey a police order when a) a known felony had not been committed and b) the life of the officer was not threatened?? This is happening almost on a weekly basis.

You are leaving out the statement he made to the officer. We still dont know what was said, and it could explain the use of force. Secondly it was a combination of actions that resulted in the shooting, not just the refusal to comply.

I'm sure part of the reason he's dead is because he was black.
Good question. Do you think it makes him a 'better person'?
