   If the details are withheld this kind of reporting is part of the problem. Namely whether or not the victim was under the influence of drugs. This is a very suspicious omission since it seriously places a huge burden of prejudgment on the police. And plays into the hands of those playing racial politics and media who exploit the opportunity to sell more ads with these obviously staged events. No explanation for any mitigating factors favoring the cops only that the victim was apparently unarmed and video didn’t prove it was justified. Not why was he stopped in the middle of the road and why did he reach inside the car with his back to the officers and why was the camera angle not focused on the side of the car when the shots were fired but was maneuvered to the opposite side where both the victim and the officers could not be viewed.

   This is my opinion based only on what is in the article.

   I wrote this elsewhere and someone thought it was ‘judgmental’ and not Christian.

   Well, considering the society’s decline in
   mental prowess, I will give that comment
   a failure grade.

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Any one would fear for his/her life when faced with an uncooperative hulking black man coming towards you, evidently under the influence of drugs, (as validated by finding the PCP vial)

   plus, this low life monkey had several chances to put down his hands, kneel on the ground like the rest of the non-Americans are doing
   now during our National Anthem,

   and be submissive as one should be when faced with law enforcement.

   The powers that be are using this police woman as a scapegoat.

   The radio contacts with her office indicate that she was fully capable of following protocol, did what she could to prevent
   a miscalculation, and the guy brought it on himself.

   If she is convicted and sent to prison, it will be a death sentence for her and a miscarriage of justice(which is normal now in the United States of America, under our present dictator)

   If I were she, and saw the handwriting on the wall, and had the resources, I would find another land in which to live w/o
   fear of reprisal from the very people who should be in my corner.

   That’s my take on this dreadful situation.
