      1. Does it really matter?
      It gives a false impression of the victim.
      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.
      As best I can tell from the video, the shooter didn't know there was a gun violation, just that there was an outstanding warrant.

          I never said they were. But, the same is true. The question of whether the mitigating action was taken becomes irrelevant once the other person acts. The question then becomes whether that other person was right or wrong in acting.

            Today the news said he also had a warrant out for attempted armed robbery. The police had good reason to want to arrest him and to stop him from getting back into his car. He could have been going for a gun. The shooting was an accident. Manslaughter. Not murder.

              Did the left ever throw that belief into the waste basket what with trying to constantly defend all of the assaults on people for wearing a MAGA hat. Then it was they were "asking for it" by wearing the hat.

                Typically you have to do something first in order to run away unless you take off at first site of the cops. That's where the resisting arrest comes into play rather than evading arrest.

                  You got that from a video. The ability to read someone's mind from watching a video of them. That's quite a talent there.

                    What should not be necessary is making "the talk" a matter of race or gender.
                    If I were black and a father I'd make my kids watch Chris Rock's video on how not to get arrested every year on their birthday once they reached double digits. In fact if I were a father I'd make my kids watch it regardless of race.

                      If ever someone could be charges with being criminally stupid it is the officer who shot this guy. But you're right. It definitely isn't murder. There was no intent.

                        Conventional wisdom also says that people don't run away from the police unless they're guilty of something. If you see a cop and start to run, they will pursue and arrest even if they had no interest in you before you ran.

                          Do you remember the Clinton appointed judge who ruled that running from the police was just a natural response for some people and therefore not illegal? IIRC, it involved a case up in Michigan.

                              Multiple news agencies reported multiple warrants. And BTW his warrant(s) were for failure to appear for two different charges - gross misdemeanor and illegal gun. And it was for a ZOOM hearing. The dude didn't even have to leave his home and travel to a courthouse, he just had to hop on Zoom.

                              Oh, and this recently came out:

                                I've heard some people speculate that he didn't know that there was a warrant out for his arrest. Given that he decided not to go to court (or even attend a zoom session), it is inconceivable that he wasn't aware that there was a warrant out for his arrest. It is likely why he struggled and tried to get in his car to run away. He knew he was going to jail.
