Chicago PD Releases Video Which Shows 'Unarmed Black Man' Draw Gun On Cops

Hi_estComnDenomn said: @Mrs10 Bullshit and you know it. Police death has declined for decades. By your logic, President Carter is responsible for reduced police death today since the decline started after his term. Surprising coming from you that you'd make such an emotional statement based on absolutely no fact or logic.

Police deaths declined due to the use of body armor, better tactics and officer survival training and trauma medicine. Despite population increases since the 1960's, the numbers of people shot by law enforcement has remained relatively constant or declined. What has increased is the felonious deaths versus accidental deaths. While the numbers are small, the felonious assaults are increasing. This guy knew he had a gun. He only had to comply. It is stupidity to reach for a gun when you know what the police reaction is going to be.

@Rational human being - I know it's easier to work off of emotions rather than actual facts and laws so let me help edumacate you. Here is the law that allowed the Chicago police to stop and legally detain Augustus. "Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, was a decision by the United States Supreme Court which held that the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is not violated when a police officer stops a suspect on the street and frisks him or her without probable cause to arrest, if the police officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a crime and has a reasonable belief that the person "may be armed and presently dangerous."

I also find it ironic you would accuse the commenters on this site of being racist while you write "Meanwhile, I'm gonna go let your daughter chokes herself on this dick, understand that all of your racist fucks are well on your our way out. " Stay classy my friend.

Rational human beings, please go back and carefully read the article. It clearly states in paragraph 3 that the officers who tried to stop him "were walking foot patrol and observed him to be carrying a gun. Considering Chicago has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation it's common sense that they would stop him.

You complain about someone referring to the protesters as "these blacks" and state " y'all need to go join the Nazi parades, you're well on your way anyway." Your no better then the person who made the generality about blacks. What gives you the right to ASSume that LEO's are Nazi's for enforcing the laws that the City of Chicago enacted?

Your observations about the video are complete fantasy. He was given a lawful order from a police officer and he CHOSE to not follow it. Why did he choose not to follow the order? Because he was carrying the gun in VIOLATION of the law. Plain and simple if he had followed the law and obeyed the directions of the officers he would be alive today. It was his CHOICE to run away and pull his gun and he lost his life for it. Why is it so hard for certain people to just follow the direction of police officers?

Your constant reference to LEO's as Nazi's is revolting. May I suggest you do a little studying on who and what Nazi's really were. Not what people with an agenda claim they are but who they really were and what they did. Also your refusal to look at black on black crime and acknowledge it is a major problem in Chicago shows your own personal ignorance.

Lastly he wasn't being arrested at the time this happened he was being stopped for questioning. The crime, carrying a concealed weapon. Officers have the lawful right to stop someone and verify that the are legally allowed to conceal carry. He wasn't!

Do yourself and everyone in your community a favor and get educated. Stop spewing the typical ignorant garbage and do something to better your community.

Rational human being said: I'm not even gonna get into how biased this whole article is, but first of all, why did they stop him? Because to just roll up on someone and start a confrontartion when they're not commiting any crimes or even looking like they are is looking for a fight. But wait, why am I telling y'all this. Looking at the "Fresh COnversations, thers is already someone using the term "These Blacks". Yeah, y'all need to go join the Nazi parades, you're well on your way anyway. And the first one of you to drop a dearth threart in my mailbox is invited to come see me in the ring. Open a book and grow the fuck up.

Considering you didn't read the article, why are you condemning it? It blatantly states why they stopped him -- They SAW THE FIREARM. Open carry is not legal in Chicago. Please try wrapping your head around that and stop focusing on blindly supporting every person with your skin color.

Think like a "rational human being" instead.

So, how about all those morons that rioted and blamed the Officer for the shooting of that thug? Makes me wonder if that clown calling himself a reporter was actually just stirring feces to try and get better headlines. All his reporting was wrong and did nothing but anger people who have no clue and nothing better to do than hang around and blame police for their worthless lives. You reach for a firearm, carrying legally or illegally and try to draw it while physically resisting arrest by officers, you deserve a few extra holes in you. You made the choice not the officers.

Get em Blue put all these thugs down

Who cares?? He was carrying a gun illegally , fought the police, and showed off hs gun to the police. What were the police supposed to do?

What were his priors? And, what do people know about his character?

Obama has everything to do with this. BLM has everything to do with this.
