In the past week, due to a perception that cops set out to kill black men, it has become open season on police officers. Sure there are some bad police shootings, but these "activists", want instant justice before all the facts are known. If you see the entire video from the man shot during the traffic stop, his girl friend is broadcasting video while the guy is in the seat next to her bleeding out and her 4 year old daughter is in the back seat. The guy outside the 7-11 that was killed is just another example. We never see the entire incident on video. What led up to the police drawing their weapons? There is a reason that shooting investigations take as long as they do. We all make assumptions about such incidents based on past experience. Could things have been handled differently? Maybe, but we weren't there. Armchair quarterbacking after the fact is easy. Being there in the moment is entirely different.
