Grand Rapids police release video of officer fatally shooting Patrick Lyoya

this was a traffic stop ending in a death. the victim was not armed.

police officers can use lethal force under two circumstances: when they have probable cause to believe a suspect poses an imminent threat of serious bodily harm and when a dangerous suspect of a crime involving the infliction of serious physical injury is attempting to flee. In Tennessee v. Garner (1985), the Supreme Court held that the Fourth Amendment prohibits the use deadly force against a non-violent, unarmed felon who is fleeing.

Then don't try to take their Tazer because you become an imminent threat and may get shot.
 
What sort of “genius” try’s to take a cop’s weapon away from him?


Resisted arrest- check

Fight with a cop- check

Grabbed the cops taser- check

Wouldn’t drop the taser when ordered - check

A lawbreaker, caught while escaping, remains uncooperative, fights back, tries to disarm the cop...and the cop’s reaction of self-defense is “over the top”.??

are you saying because they were in a scrap on the ground it became an officer safety issue?

would it have been different if it were a smaller person?

the attempt to grab the officers weapon gives the government agent(s) justification to use deadly force in defense of themselves or others
