Can you explain that statement?

Most people, when they receive news that the police shot a drugged-up non-compliant "subject" or armed man think, So what else is new?

Even on this forum we tend to make snap decisions about whether the victim of a police shooting asked for it or not.

Re: NV: Las Vegas police in the news again

Heavy clothing can have the same effect.

Las Vegas has overnight temperatures in the 40s now.

Obviously the deceased made a fatal mistake by failing to obey the commands of the police officers.

NV: Las Vegas police in the news again

In Las Vegas, around 5:30 a.m. Monday morning, police responded to a report of a man and woman "involved in an argument" in front of a convenience store. The argument appeared to be escalating, according to a police spokesman.

The man was described as white and in his early 30s. He was carrying a cane.

He ignored police commands. They reportedly tasered him with no effect. Then they shot him with beanbag rounds, which also had no effect.

The man then made a "threatening motion" toward the police officers with his cane. One of them responded by shooting the non-compliant subject DRT.
