Ah, you got me there, I was looking away when the dude dropped the first.
Complying with orders, is that what the guy was doing when he was running?
- The stated orders were "drop the gun."
  
  Lol don't get facetious with me. You and I both know you don't run from the cops, regardless of your feelings about them. If you're detained, for instance, by a cop with a gun, then you're not free to go. You know this, you're just being an asshole.
  
  Ah yes. Now citizens have to follow the unwritten rules and unsaid commands as well. Law abiding citizens are psychic, and famously calm under pressure.
  
  You must've forgotten when I said you're being facetious. Bad faith, goodbye :)
  
  Lmao. I'm not sure I could engage in good faith with someone who defends cops shooting people that are running away.
