The first happened at a car dealership where someone either fired at him or in the air. In his defense he shot a different guy lunging at him. This was the guy shot in the head, who died.
It is then that he was chased down the street and attacked by the guy with the gun (shot in the arm) and by another guy who hit him with a skateboard on the back of the head before that guy was shot in the chest and killed.
While I'm not sure it was in his best interests to "carry", I can see self defense in all of this.
Should be a nice future for the poor kid.

Mines, sensors, and armed sentries would be much more effective.
Or, we could actually enforce our laws.

Bottom line, is we don’t need untrained 17 year olds driving to others states breaking their fire arms laws in order to protect other people’s property during a civil unrest protest/vandalism situations.
This helps no one.

Based on what can be seen in the video, this could be either an unjustified shooting or it could be justified.
But nothing in the video justifies a verdict

I think it's important to remember:
(1) Police officers are trained only to discharge their weapons when they have grounds to believe that lives are in danger, be it their own lives or lives of members of the public.
(2) Police offers are trained to use their weapons lethally. Police officers do not shoot for any other reason than to deliver lethal force. That's their training. They are not instructed to shoot to warn, or disable. When they shoot, they are taught to shoot lethally.
(3) When a citizen, being detained by an officer, disobeys the officer's instructions AND engages in an act which is potentially threatening to an officer or a member of the public, the officer is trained to shoot. See 1 and 2 above.
In this case, the citizen not only disobeyed the officer, but opened his car door.
In such a case, the officers will assume that the citizen opened the car door in order to retrieve some form of dangerous weapon, and will treat the action of opening the car door as potentially threatening to the officer's life. See 1 and 2 above.
This would have happened to you and me in the same situation. I don't see, on these facts, a case for racial bias.
I will await more information before reaching a definite opinion.

It took the officers more than a minute to fire a shot. One shot. That was it. Didn't kill the guy.
Wonder one one was allowed to actually threaten officer lives and got that much warning before a single shot was fired while another gets 7 shots to the back.

Look on a map. The kid probably could have walked from his house to Wisconsin and almost certainly had a shorter drive to downtown Kenosha than any caravans of protesters coming from Milwaukee.

I think their intent was to protect innocent people and property. Unfortunately, the mob threatened a life and the threateners were tango-downed.

Truth be told, I hadn't even looked at a map of Kenosha to see exactly where it was - for some reason I assumed it was north of Milwaukee.

Sure if you can differentiate between them before they park their cars and start marching down the street. If you can't, it's probably better to keep out all outsiders who do not have a legitimate reason to be within the Kenosha city limits. If governors and mayors can require that people wear masks why can't they put a moratorium on outsiders "visiting" a jurisdiction?kalm wrote: ↑Thu Aug 27, 2020 10:21 amRioters looters, yes.

And bring home the troops from Germany to patrol the area. We're already paying them and their would be a big economic impact for that area rather than having that economic impact in Germany.
