Few would quarrel with that. The facts are he didn't comply, and one officer could not get the cuffs on him and backed off allowing him the opportunity to get away, then the woman cop interceded by the time he got in his vehicle and shot him instead of tasing him, as she was announcing she was doing. Had she been a rookie it would not look so bad but she wasn't. She was someone who trained rookies and killed a man regardless of the prior situation. If the person she foolishly killed had been anyone else's son, husband, friend they would demand justice, too, regardless of their skin color.



The sad, but undeniable truth here is that if she had shot a White guy, under the exact same circumstances, it would not have made the news.
