        It was a lawful arrest, and he attempted to "get away from" by means of "fighting off" the arrest.

        I haven't known you to be such a petty picker of nit, Roy. Trying something new?

        A woman? There were actually three police officers, at least one of whom was a man, trying to arrest a man.
        And I covered this - it's often the case that the male officers don't want to make it look like a female is not capable of doing the job. There is always "the arresting officer", and those who assist. She was, in fact, acting as "the arresting officer".

        It's not the MSM I have a growing distrust of.

          That's not the important question. The important question is whether his level of resistance and danger necessitate the amount of force exercised. Your question is akin to saying

          "If the raped girl did not get passed out drunk, would she have been raped? Yes or No? "

          Sure, her not getting passed out drunk might have saved her from being raped, but it doesn't actually address the rapist or their actions.

              Oh sure, I think he should have been tased. Not shot of course. But it was on him - he should not have resisted.

                1. Does it really matter?

                b)
                Source: Police Shooting of Black Man in Minnesota Sparks Protests


                The incident occurred around 2 p.m. local time when police say they were trying to take a man later identified as Wright, into custody after determining he had outstanding warrants during a traffic stop. Police said the man got back into his car and an officer shot him. The man then drove several blocks before hitting another car.

                Source

                © Copyright Original Source




                Source: DAUNTE WRIGHT SHOOTINGTWINS, WOLVES GAMES POSTPONED... 'Out Of Respect'


                20-year-old Wright was shot and killed by a police officer during a traffic stop Sunday afternoon in the Minneapolis suburb of Brooklyn Center.

                Cops say they were trying to take him into custody after learning he had outstanding warrants ... and Wright attempted to flee.

                Source

                © Copyright Original Source




                However, New York Magazine's Intelligencer says

                After running Wright’s identification, officers found an outstanding warrant for an unspecified gross misdemeanor.


                but when you are Googling stories, this is what we see instead at the link for it

                Officers stopped Wright on Sunday afternoon and determined that he had outstanding warrants -- it is unclear on what charges.


                The Google link says "1 day ago" so it appears that some initial reports had multiple warrants but are now changing them to the singular "warrant" as more information became available.

                The exact same thing happens with local news KCTV5's report which in Google go to a story titled "Minnesota National Guard deployed after crowds protest of daunte wright in officer related shooting" and which clearly states "he had outstanding warrants." But when you click the link now, the story reads Police fire tear gas at protesters in a second night of demonstrations after Minnesota officer fatally shoots Black man, indicating an edit at a later point, and now reads "he had an outstanding warrant."

                ANY gun violation is going to be a red flag for police. And when he was so desperate to get back to his car for some unknown reason, that gun violation is something that will most definitely be kept in mind.

                And I doubt he traipsed or did a ballet pirouette to get back into his car. It is almost certain that words like "struggled" and "fought" are appropriate.

                  Again, His resistance matters only so far as he caused force to be applied. Once it has, his resistance no longer matters, it becomes a question of whether or not the appropriate amount was used.

                  Would you tell a raped girl that "It's on you, you shouldn't have gotten drunk."

                    For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

                    I think a more valid comparison would be a girl who stripped naked, laid spread on a bed and told some guy "Come and get it baby" followed with upending a bottle of liquor and drinking its contents and then passing out shortly after.



                    When you get into any fight you need to be aware how quickly it can escalate. And this is even truer when you get into a fight with someone carrying a firearm.

                          The girl was a victim. This guy was the perpetrator. Totally different situations.

                          Would your dumb example be the same if someone had been trying to shoot a police officer and got killed? "If he didn't try to shoot the cop, he wouldn't have been killed" "Well that is like saying if the girl didn't pass out she wouldn't have been raped!"

                            You see, it would. Apply the question I said was appropriate. "Was the force used appropriate for the situation?" So, if a cop is being shot at, is use of deadly force appropriate? The answer is Yes.

                            Once force has been used, the question of "Should they have complied" is no longer relevant, it is now was it appropriate.

                            To go back to my "dumb example". Once the rape has occured, the question about whether she should have been passed-out drunk is no longer relevant. It is now "should I rape her?" (and of course, the answer there is always "NO".)

                              you are all over the place. The proper response of force has nothing to to with rape.

                              If someone is resisting arrest, no you can't shoot him unless he is posing a deadly danger to the police or others. In this case she was attempting to TAZE him, which would be a proper non-lethal response to someone resisting arrest and attempting to get in his car. He could have been reaching for a hidden weapon in the car for all the officer knew, so incapacitating him with a tazer would have been an appropriate response. Unfortunately, she grabbed her gun instead and killed him, which was an improper use of force.

                                This always has to go back to that.

                                No, it's not her FAULT for getting raped, but if I love my daughter - and I love both of them - I'm going to do everything in my power to help them understand the risks that get significantly greater when a woman is intoxicated around men.

                                Just like if I were the father of a black man --- I AGREE that "the talk" should NOT be necessary --- but if I love my black son, I'm going to do my best to help him understand that the risks get significantly greater when he resists in a police action.
                                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
