It's the manner of the shooting that's the issue -- the circumstances, i.e. whether it was justified or not.
>with three outstanding warrants
That seems immaterial to the shooting -- because Schurr had not identified Lyoya yet, he could not have known about any outstanding warrants, right?
I understand and share the disgust over the whole BLM/nigger worship phenomenon, defund the police (although I'm not a 'back the blue' type), etc, but why be so dumbly tendentious about this particular case?
>during struggle
I hope this aspect will be addressed at the trial, because as I said, IMO Schurr should not have engaged in a struggle with Lyoya.
I also hope Schurr will have a good lawyer and can tell his side of what happened, why he shot Lyoya the way he did (in the back of the head when Lyoya was prone on the ground), and that the court and jury will put aside the political circus/backdrop -- Chauvin deserved a change of venue; perhaps that ought to be considered in this case too.
I'll repeat a different scenario,where cops don't get charged with murder:A black comes at the police--after a standoff--with a knife.He's 30 feet away,walking toward them and will not drop the knife.He is ordered to stop and drop the weapon--he does not.The cops shoot him dead.
Here,the cop and thug are in a fight for a taser--and probably the cop's life. The thug(Lyoya)will not let go of the taser.He is ordered to drop the taser.To me,that's the salient point.He does not drop the taser.Why are police in the first scenario allowed to shoot a thug,so many feet away,but Officer Schurr cannot shoot a negro offender who is attempting to steal his weapon--even while on the bottom of a fracas?
