South Carolina State Patrol opens fire on unarmed man after instructing him to present his license

 
The tanks are below ground... It ain't GTA III.
Cars have gas tanks too
Again, this aint GTA III.

Explanation:  In Hollywood, it seems like all you need to blow a car to smithereens is a gun and a gas tank. A garage-full of flicks depict people destroying automobiles by shooting straight into to the tank, triggering a massive explosion.

But when MythBuster Jamie Hyneman bored into a Cadillac's full gas tank with a barrage of bullets, no such detonation went down. His six slugs simply ripped right through the tank and out the other side of the otherwise intact sedan.

With no flames to be found, Jamie's gas tank target practice busted the cinematic motor myth.

poor guy, **** irks me that all these cops are scared all the time, in result, doing stupid **** like this.
 
Hold one damn minute
U mean to tell me static electricity can cause a fire at the pump
But bullets won't
I'm calling bs
 
how the **** are yall saying yall could see it happening cause he reached back in his car quickly. 

dude tapped his back pocket and felt no wallet, turned at a normal pace to reach back into his car. cop gave him no time to do anything he was asked to do. 

cop yelled get out of the car and before he could finish saying it the second time was firing shots. cop should get at least 15 yrs and dude should get fairly compensated.

I watched this w no sound the first time... Was not surprised at all about the cops reaction to the way the guy moved.

I've now seen it with the video and it makes a world of difference.

Point being the dudes movement into the car is pretty unnerving without the context of the cop telling him to produce his ID.
 
Gotdamn, that dash cam video is scary as hell. SMH at thinking(better yet, knowing) that we as black men, have to be mindful of our movements around cops.

This man needs to lose his badge and freedom.
 
I still contend that there is responsibility on both sides to respect each other.  Cops respecting citizens and citizens respecting cops.

There's already a ton of "**** the police", "******* pigs", "swine", "all cops are pigs" etc comments in this thread.  You think that attitude helps the situation? I sure as **** don't.

Nobody in here posting any stories and no one out their writing stories about the good things that a cop does.  

Some cops are just regular dudes who want to do their job the way its supposed to be done and go home to their kids and I've seen an NTer say "I laugh when a cop gets killed".  **** is disgusting.

Ya got me there pal

Either way why would you open fire at a gas station in broad daylight :lol:

I would be hella tight filling up my vehicle with expensive gas and then shots being fired behind me

Like you said this ain't Grand Theft Auto :lol:
 
seatbelt violation...did i hear him say he took his seatbelt off because he was pulling in the gas station (and about to get gas?)

Because the guy looks totally shocked hes being pulled over and he was already out of the car.

These cops man...so trigger happy. smfh.

Why is a black men doing something more more dangerous than an other person. If this was a white women reaching for something would he have shot her? Do you guys not see they're stereotyping us as dangerous and using almost lethal action on us when we do something typical that another race would not be killed for?[


QFT, READ THIS 10 TIMES, GET THIS TATTED ON YOUR BODY

OPEN YOUR EYES PPL, WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO BLACK MEN IS NOT RIGHT

Maaaaan we know this **** already
We talking about innocent people who end up DEAD because of some over zealous cop
People who are suppose to serve and protect are killing the people they suppose to protect
 
i would like to see a case study on the number of black males and females falsely accused and shot vs cops who have been assaulted or shot.

Just think these are only the incidents that get caught and not swept under the rug.

"Overzealous"? You don't know that.

They cant know what is going to happen during a traffic stop... A cop shouldn't have to be laying his life on the line every time he pulls someone for speeding or not wearing a seatbelt.

But he didn't though dude was reaching for his license
And an innocent person life shouldn't be taken For reaching for their license
 
All the "I can understand where the cop was coming from talk or he reached in the car fast" is funny when you consider that the cop was fired. It takes a lot for the cops in these shooting situations to be suspended yet alone fired. If you get fired that means what you did wasn't reasonable in the eyes of your peers which is pretty compelling. All we ever hear is how these police officers are following their training but this guy didn't follow his training.


I'm just glad that no one lost their life. This man will rightfully sue and win and the local tax payers will be left paying the bill. We need to curb sovereign immunity. Maybe if these individuals or institutions would have to foot the bill in these lawsuits maybe we would see a change.
 
Dude is getting charged, there is a video of him blasting with justification, but dudes are in here ridin for him. Playing that "cops do a dangerous job" card :smh: :lol:

Bro where did I say it was okay for that SC cop to shoot the man?

I don't know why I bother replying to people like you... "an innocent life shouldn't be taken for reaching for their license".  Some really breakthrough thinking there... Before you said that I totally thought everyone who reaches for their license should be shot. /sarcasm

As I said a couple of posts ago... This would happen less if there wasn't such an animosity between the general public and police.  I can imagine that it's in the back of every cops mind that each day could be their last when they suit up.  

Not exactly an enviable position to be in...

Miss me with that animosity crap
Black dude didn't seem like he was trippin or upset
Cop just wanted to let that gun go off
He was looking for a reason

And what do u mean by "people like YOU"????? :nerd:

can we please stop with the general public ******** this happens to black men 9.9/10 times

like someone said earlier he dosent start blasting if a white soccer mom reaches back into her mini van

the police are stereotyping black men and firing at will based on those stereotypes
 
They need to drug test the cop. He was tweakin in that video like he on some girl or meth. Pcp or something
