This is an occasional problem in poor black neighborhoods. If you're a white motorist passing through a dangerous black neighborhood and accidentally hit someone, you will need to make a split second decision on whether to make your way to the nearest police station or stick around and risk being killed by irate neighborhood residents. If this cop hadn't been armed, he might have been maimed or beaten to death. He was probably injured taking a spill from his motorcycle and likely had no alternative to shooting his assailants, especially given that he was outnumbered 2 to 1 and additional help for those assailants was probably in the process of materializing.

“Take it easy, I’m the police” probably didn’t help his case.

Deserves reposting- This cop was IMMEDIATELY attacked- and all the neighbors i nthe video were excusign hte father’s actions by saying ‘of course he woudl be upset’ Yeah? I was upset abotu beign pulled over a few times, but that didn’t give me hte right to ASSAULT a POLICE officer

You are correct that this man- outnumbered, and beign attacked, had to make a tough choice- but of course al lthe cop haters will ikely justify hte father’s actions and villify the cop
