Ahhhh the emotions of a hindsigher- every post you make proves my point—

At least I have that luxury and so do you, what with not being shot full of holes and dead and all. You really deserve to get it good and hard from an officer just like Brailsford, you really do. Karma come.

I must say that your apologism for a clearly out-of-control police officer—one who, as has been pointed out, was removed from the force for incompetence unrelated to this incident—is absolutely shameful, and a chilling indication of how totalitarian attitudes can seep into a culture and become acceptable.

This despite the fact that there are numerous police supporters on this thread—people who tend to give officers the benefit of the doubt in almost all instances—who have rightly declared that this incident constituted nothing less than an execution of an unarmed man.

When any unarmed man is killed, the police had better have a very well-founded justification. Only a coward shoots someone using the flimsy basis cited in this case.

To claim that some officer couldn't have gone up an cuffed this guy because of the presence of a doorway is just ridiculous.

If cops can get away with shoots like this, they can get away with anything, including the murder that they got away with in this case.

You're attempts to justify this completely unacceptable behavior are extremely disturbing, and demonstrate the fact that the police can do no wrong in the eyes of some. Just disgusting...
