I do not know the facts. I did not watch the video.
Having said that...
What bothers me here is not what the media is saying. It's what they are more or less implying...
"White cops execute harmless, innocent, black man with zero justification, for no reason, out-of-blue, in a coordinated conspiracy planned and carried out in moments. More of the same from the man - racism, corruption, lack of accountability. Stay tuned."
Nope, it can't be a matter of circumstance, perceptions, training, and environment combining to create a tragedy (assuming it is a bad shoot). And we can't have a measured, "wait and see" response or a fair accounting, cause that won't sell ad space and generate ratings.
And if you're a cop, don't think it can't happen to you.
Cops screw up. It happens. But let me tell you something else...everyone lies to/about the cops. EVERYONE. I can't tell you the number of calls and complaints I deal with from moon-bats and foil-hat wearers, "good, concerned" citizens, and "good" Christians that are bizarre, one-sided, lacking in fact and perspective. Folks don't like cops, so they seem to be pre-disposed to think bad right from the start. It's endemic to our culture, and can't be changed. A bit of this is actually healthy and keeps things even keel. But we are waaaaay past that point now.
Again, no idea on this and just don't have it in me to get interested anymore. For me, it's more of the same.
Time to check that parachute...
