Exactly "What" part of........."DROP THE WEAPON" is hard to understand....???

[Sourdough]

Really.....What is hard to understand about the command......."Drop the Weapon"....???

Evidently LEOs weren't afraid to defend themselves as the dead aggressor thought.

Most have never had to use their hands or heads to work or think, sadly more like beast anymore than humans. I have a couple family members like this. So terribly sad.

It is the business of doing what you are told, or not. It is about being oppositional. You said left? I'll go right. The training of this starts at a very young age.

What's that old phrase? "You can't fix stupid".

Let me rethink that.
If you are holding a weapon and police are pointing guns at you and shouting "Drop the weapon!", you are taking an IQ test.
Don't fail the test.
Actually, this is an obvious 'suicide-by-cop' case.
Where did he possibly think he was going to go? Other than the morgue.

I hink most of them are on drugs. My nephew is and my grandaughter was who ruined her life till middle age she will be in prison.
I never knew or seen anyone on drugs when I was young till the mid 60s.
Drugs have made many people very rich just not the ones who take them.

I know where you are trying to go with this....but honestly.....if someone told me to give up my weapon, I rather like to think I would respond with 'cold dead hands'.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

The odds were stacked against this thug right from the get go. I would have to agree with the suicide by cop mentality.

Although, at some point the responsibility of the MSM is going to have to come into the picture. They would be the reason this mentality has been whipped up to the point it is. They have been fanning the flames so to speak.

I think he thought he could get away with it because he is black, they wouldn't dare shoot a black man.

Unfortunately we have the example of too many politicians that do whatever they want, deny every saying what videos prove they have said. Now we have people believing they can do they same. Now we have "free thinkers" that hear "drop the knife" but believe they can do whatever they want with no repercussions.

Well now businesses are paying the price for this. Philly is a mess. Guess it's early Christmas shopping.

Not at all,most of us won't give up our guns without a fight or at least threat od prison and may not even then.

I think the thing for politicians is that they have too much power and they have gotten away with it for so long. What really stuck in my craw was when Betsy DeVos was up for nomination as Secretary of Education and I saw that our Senator Cory Gardner received around $49,000 for approving her nomination. WTH! If she was worthy of appointing, then approve it. No $$$ needed!
