(9,293 posts)and defaulting to making it about race. There were many mistakes made by many people over days, weeks,years that resulted in Adam ending up dead in an alley. This is not a cop harassing or even escalating a situation to a person of color. This is a cop answering a call of multiple shots fired by these two people. Both suspects ran one was knocked over by the officer while continuing to chase the one with a gun. These two were firing shots randomly in the neighborhood. This could have just as easily turned into a child shot in their home when a stray bullet came through their window. What was the next move of these two ? We're they going to carjack someone, rob someone, shoot someone ? These two made mistakes. Adam's parents or guardians made mistakes. The officer made a mistake shooting Adam. The only one who had to make a split decision that night was the cop and it was the wrong one.
