This police officer was found 'justified' in his shooting, though after watching the video, it's arguably impossible to see why. The court that that thought Taylor posed no threat, the cop was justified in perceiving a threat.

Sorry if this is a report, its the first time I've seen. Shooting occurred about 3 days after the Michael Brown shooting, but the video is new.

It is a war against men and I don't see why the conversation about it and its gender bias is shunned as a semi MRA talking point.

It is what it is and it is our brothers, sons and fathers that are at most risk.

I can't even think of a worthwhile comment, the video speaks for itself.

It should rightfully be compared to disappearances in S. American and other countries in the past.

State-sanctioned murder if it is anything.

the 'oh mans' and 'cooomme on guy, what were you grabbing??'

He was very cognizant that he was recording himself. In fact, the first thing he did when his supervisor got there was warn her he was recording and ask if he could turn it off.
