Going to break with the rules of no politics, but I'd love to know what he did to deserve being executed by the police.

the guy that got shot 7 times in his back IN front of his 3 children? ... im not diving into this with you. seems pointless, right?

They weren't all his kids and they weren't supposed to be in his car. Not to mention busting down the door of someone who had a restraining order against him, had assaulted someone else, then fought the police outside the home all while having a knife and wouldn't go down after being shot with a taser. That's the same guy. Far from an innocent person who didn't have something coming. You could make the argument it shouldn't have taken 7 shots to the back, but you could also make the argument that had he actually followed the law in the first place by not going there the situation could have been avoided. But he chose the path that led to consequences for his actions. Isn't that what you want for DeAngelo?

Wasn't executed, but busting through the door of someone with a restraining order against him, threatening them, then taking three kids (only one he had a right to) then fighting the police, not going down after being shot with a taser and was armed with a knife during this encounter. Not to mention he already had an arrest warrant for sexual assault. Not exactly a good person nor did his actions immediately prior to the shooting help his cause.
The entire situation was recorded and is on the internet ... but it doesn't fit the news narrative so the video is ignored.
Someone called the police on him for a serious crime and he had a history of violence that the police new about.
The police repeatedly screamed at him to stop and put his hands up through the whole altercation. He didn't.
Then the police tried to handcuff him. He fought the policeman.
Then the police tried to taze him. He pulled it out and kept fighting.
Then he ran to his car with a policeman following him screaming stop.
Then he reached into his cars glove compartment area to grab something.
Then the police officer shot him in the back until he fell down.
That officer (rightfully) assumed he was 2 seconds away from being shot to death himself.
The guy had a million chances to stop but decided to make terrible decisions for 2 minutes straight.
Then the media tells you (but doesn't show you) that's it's police brutality and racism.
