  Because those in power aren't affected by police misconduct. As long as they're brutalizing and killing poor people it's all good.
context: Frasure was shot at least once in the head. He was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died.
  
  Apprehending a suspect for burglary and/or fleeing should not be done so with deadly force. This is what happens when police get away with murder. >
  
  They're already trying to frame it as him putting the officers in mortal danger by driving his truck at them.
  
  
  Guy is spending time off work to empty the apartment of a dead relative.
  
  
  Neighbour calls police, claiming robbery in progress.
  
  
  Police arrive.
  
  
  *TIME PASSES*
  
  
  Guy tries to flee from danger.
  
  
  Police try to kill him.
  
  
  
  Apparently, he was known to them.
  However, this alone doesn't justify a shooting, nor does simply fleeing.
  Still need the camera footage to clarify the manner of his driving as the police describe it. >
  
  Police succeed in killing him >
  
  Police claim that they feared for their lives in situation that they created. >
  
  This is almost always the case >
  
  If only there were methods of deescalation
  And methods of training them to people
  Idk, maybe like cops? >
  
  That's not what we're looking for in our force >
  
  "I'm sorry, but you've failed the psychiatric evaluation, please find another career." >
  
  It's getting to the point where if there's police in the area at all, you should assume there's a credible threat to your life regardless of circumstances. >
  
  I felt that way over 10 years ago in southwest florida >
  
  “The call was placed to a non-emergency line but rerouted to general dispatch” so like, no matter what they respond like a fucking swat team. >
  
  Yes. Especially with it originating through a non-emergency channel.
  This was basically a guaranteed safe kill. Like a 'wellness check', police have just been told there's no danger if they go in, "but here's a justification for going anyway you guys have fun!" >
  
  Cops have to be the most afraid / scared for their life people on the planet to have to constantly shoot unarmed innocents. >
  
  No. They are simple bastard brutes with guns. They don’t think. They shoot. >
  
  They are TRAINED not to think and shoot though
  that's the difference
  Look up police training videos and they are wild
  Police training is incredibly fear based and primes cops to be murders >
  
  Trained might be too strong a word. Most police officers get less training time than your average plumber. Let that sink in. People who are given guns and told to police society are less trained than the guy who comes to snake your toilet. >
  
  Rare that a toilet will try and kill you though. >
  
  True, but shouldn't that be all the more reason for police officers to get more training than a plumber? >
  
  Oh ya. Folks should check out what it takes to become an officer in other countries. Mind you, we are larger and more dangerous (generally speaking) but the bar should definitely be set higher. >
  
  Once a gun enters the equation many, more logical, solutions aren’t even considered. Especially when a person is trained to treat fellow humans as the enemy as police are. >
  
  I consider myself anti-gun, but there is one argument from the pro-gun crowd that I can't really refute:
  The cops won't help you if shit goes down. >
  
  Calling the police is like a box of chocolates...they will kill your dog. >
  
  This comment made me snort my coffee.  Bravo! >
  
  I prefer cocaine but you do you. >
  
  "Bear?" -Leonardo Caprio >
  
  At this rate it's only a matter of time before police viewing the public as a threat becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. The illusion that they are any sort of protectors is washed away in a tide of bloodshed. Violence is not the answer and the state sanctioned gangs will execute you for retaliating but at some point the camels back will break... >
  
  
  Violence is not the answer and the state sanctioned gangs will execute you for retaliating but at some point the camels back will break...
  
  Seems unlikely to me: history has shown that people will endure worse for longer. It's not state violence that breaks the camel's back, but lack of bread - something that is basically impossible now. >
  
  I won't lie, that statement was effectively just a platitude. I would like to have hope that change could happen. But the pessimist in me thinks that we will see the balkanization of the United States of America before we see an updated bill of rights and a restoration of our civil liberties. >
  
  Possible, but the Balkans we're an incredible complicated situation full of centuries if not millennia of intense ethnic conflict. It could be analogous... Or not. >
  
  Sure, but in a general sense, the term balkanization just means a country splitting up into smaller individual parts that are often hostile to each other. It doesn't necessitate open hostilities between the smaller entities. You could argue that a balkanization of the United States would just look like a dissolution of the federal government.
  Not that that is likely either >
  
  Secession was the closest thing, but that didn't go anywhere. I'm skeptical it could happen again. >
  
  Ultimately, I agree that it's not likely to happen. It's just more likely to happen than the civilian population getting together and forcing change upon our current government. >
  
  Ah yes, they shot him for "leaving the scene of a non-crime." >
  
  My favorite is "arrested for resisting arrest." >
  
  Killed for attempting suicide...
  I really do not understand deadly force is such a thing in the US. What does it bring to kill someone for breaking in? Car runs the scene? better create a super dangerous situation by chasing him instead of reading a license plate at get the guy at his home. >
  
  "Shots were fired into the van when it “almost struck an officer”, police say."
  Police say... I've heard that so many times. 
  We'll have to wait for video, and see if shots were fired directly in front of the car or on the side. 
  Plus, if your in front of a car and can shoot, you can jump out of the way too. >
  
  They love to jump in front of cars they want to stop and then shoot them when they don't and claim they were trying to run them over >
  
  When you shoot a driver, coming at you, there's a high chance if he was really coming at you, you're still getting run over. Cause if the 21ft knife rule means anything, I think a car can get 21 ft even faster. >
  
  Yea if you shot someone while they were driving a car at you, the car would continue to go that direction... potentially faster depending on where their foot was. >
  
  God damn cops are fucking pathetic ass cowards. >
  
  People flee the police because they fear for their lives and the police continue to prove them right. >
  
  The video they release had better include the entire encounter and not just the 3 seconds when the shooting happened.   
  The police seem to enjoy escalating situations that don't need it. >
  
  Yeah. I see a lot of boot lickers any time video is released say "Well we don't know what happened prior to the video!" >
  
  Kind of funny that Law Enforcement successfully uses the same defense strategy that didn't work for Alex Jones. >
  
  The difference is, they can't be held accountable like Alex Jones. >
  
  
  His cause and manner of death have not yet been released.
  
  I mean he got shot by an incompetent cop while minding his own goddamn business and doing nothing wrong. I think we narrowed it down. >
  
  Anyone think that maybe, just maybe, we should not be hiring scared man-babies to be cops and giving them guns? >
  
  Who else wants to shoot “bad guys” and be hall monitors of the roads? They don’t solve crimes. They are enforcers for the rich. 
  Smart, good people become firefighters or EMTs. The dumb thugs become cops. 
  It’s really obvious what kind of people want to wear a gun all day. Scared man-babies. >
  
  So many people insist that cops stop crime. They show up afterward and maybe, if is not too much trouble, they might look into it. Usually only if you are wealthy. >
  
  "To protect and serve her knickknacks"
  Way to go, y'all. Preserving the peace of her old granny draws! Attaboy! I hear they need heros like y'all in Uvalde. >
  
  This is fucking outrageous >
  
  Why are all our cops such chicken shits? >
  
  They're not: "fearing for our lives" is a boilerplate template they're trained to excrete every kill, just like Killology told them would improve their sex-lives.
  Police usually make very certain they'll be entirely safe to "was fearing" you before escalating. Knowing their victim can't escape its doom is what's really getting them off. >
  
  Judge. Jury, and executioner.   Why do we live in the judge dread universe?
