Ohio police shot black man 60 times

Only when it comes to prosecution. We're not even there yet. Suspicious until investigation leads elsewhere.

You MUST stop your backwards thinking on this issue.

If police are asking questions, they are not doing so for their health. Why do police ask questions? If you are not the person they are after, help them clear you of suspicion so they can apprehend the real perp.

YOUR method is to cause MORE suspicion and turn their attention toward YOU, rather than lead them to the right person.

Now if this was a different situation, lets say a mass murder, people like him would be asking why the police didn't do something when somebody called police about a suspicious person. Why did they let him just walk away when he felt like it? Why didn't they do something when they seen this person acting strangely on the street.

You can't win for losing with these people.

Back to the question that remains unanswered....what is the purpose of police?
 
Really? Our police department encourages it. They tell us citizens to call them for any reason we feel something may be amiss. It doesn't mean they are going to arrest anybody, it means they will check out our concerns.

A black man walking down the street is not a concern just because he dresses different than you.
 
They suffocated and killed him. If the choice is between allowing someone to wander naked on the street or kill them, I'll let them wander.
so police get a call about a guy wandering around acting crazy completely naked and they are supposed to just let it happen?

Again what is the purpose of police?

Pretty clear that guy was tripping on PCP, having a psychosis episode, and presenting a danger to himself and others. Are they just supposed to wear them around naked and potentially somebody?

What would have been the right thing to do?

Again, I answered this.

And if that were the case, you would be right.

A person calling 911 describing a man, black or otherwise, walking around flailing his arms with a ski mask on should give cause for the police to check it out and find out if the guy is OK and not a danger to himself or others.

Isn't that their job?

Is it the purpose of police to make sure that dangerous people do not do not harm other people?

It's back to the fundamental question

Rinse repeat. They checked it out. He told them his name, where he lived, what he was doing. He explained why he wore what he did and explained he was fine.

Then they killed him.

That is DEMONSTRABLY not what happened. He was clearly tripping.

Are police supposed to let a guy like that continue walking, potentially into traffic or worse?
