But with your apparent mindset, why are you on a progressive site? If you watched the tape you would know that the officers had many opportunities to take him down way before it got to the point of him trying to escape by getting in the police car. And we have no way of knowing he actually tried to get the gun except for the word of cops who just pumped nine rounds into the unarmed man.
It never would have gotten to that point if the cops had just used their NON-LETHAL training. It doesn't always have to come down to "shooting the black guy."
We both know that a disoriented white guy would not have been gunned down by a group of white cops when all they had to do was physically overpowered him.
The incident was handled extremely ineptly by the cops. A minor traffic incident should no have ended up with a dead body.
