Obviously he knows he's a bad guy!

Eliminate the middle man; very efficient.

See Johnny. Don't mess around with guns. Look what happened to this guy and he's a trained professional.

Cameras won't help. Obviously guns can kill people. Remember those kid kill training person stories?

I just hope we can all have a calm, rational conversation about this and nobody resorts to victim blaming.

Notice how he plants the firearm next to the victim. Frame-up.

A fair parallel would be for the people that are apologists for any act of police, that the guy was fine before entering the elevator. He left shot. Honestly, anything could have caused that. Here is a YouTube video...

Another poster may suggest his wife did it and the husband is lying to cover it up.

Well, we're talikng about a guy who pulled out a gun while in a small elevator. As a cop, he had no choice except to shoot him.

Also, he probably smoked marajuana once, so he was a dangerous criminal who needed to be put down.

That video is an 'accident' in the same sense that this is an accident https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Aea7dsMjQ8

Don't mess around with guns. Look what happened to this guy and he's a poorly trained professional.

FIFY

Technically the cop shot an elevator.

The elevator did not wound the black man until after it had been fired upon first. I don't think we should assume the elevator was racist.

I'm with dismal on this one, and I will note that Kentucky has a stand your ground law, so the elevator had no duty to retreat under the law.

I can't view the video; was he wearing a hoodie?

Elevators don't shoot people. People shoot people.

Except for robot elevators with machine guns, of course.

No, but he might have had tea with dinner.
