How to end police shootings in one easy step.

[CapnAwesome]

A rather disingenuous question...I'd only quote your previous comment.  Is there some other way to take it?  Care to rephrase?

(do you actually read what you write, btw....honestly....that bit about the benefit of the doubt -even- in the face of certain evidence to the contrary is crazy talk...)

Concerning your edit:   Yes, I normally do overview what I write before posting.... And even though the evidence may show, that the one under arrest was going for a cell phone, I think the benefit of the doubt should go to the officer, and the one with the authority, rather than the one ignoring it.  The one who had to make a quick decision concerning theirs and others safety.   I don't think that "stop and put your hands up" is that difficult of a concept for most, and that actions have consequences.

Of course you can be on the ground, with your hands up, saying 'don't shoot' and still get shot anyway....

“When I went to the ground, I went to the ground with my hands up,” Kinsey said, “and I am laying there just like this. Telling them again there is no need for firearms. He is autistic. He has a toy truck in his hand.”
Kinsey can be heard clearly saying to police on the video “All he has is a toy truck. A toy truck. I am a behavior therapist at a group home.”
Kinsey was shot while in this submissive position. Kinsey said he still has no idea why the officers shot him.
“I thought it was a mosquito bite, and when it hit me I had my hands in the air, and I’m thinking I just got shot!” Kinsey said. “And I’m saying, ‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ and his words to me were, ‘I don’t know.’”
After the shooting, Kinsey said that police handcuffed him and left him bleeding on the sidewalk for a while, ignoring his cries for assistance.
