Oddly enough, I’m usually on the other side, the “let em die” side. You should have heard me over Channon Christian and her boyfriend, can’t remember his name this minute, which is sad.

I just want to be careful of letting police shoot anyone without good excuse. I am emphatically against militarization and aggression of law enforcement

I am right there with you. But I see nothing here to indicate that this was anything other than an out-of-control feral thug who put a police officer in the unenviable position of shoot-or-die. Very few adult males would survive an all-out assault by a 300 pound 18-year old. Given what we know about him, I am inclined to not believe the fanciful tales spun by Gentle's peers and accomplices.

To me, this isn't about the militarization and aggression of law enforcement. It is about the lynch mob mentality of the professionally aggrieved, the mindless hipster-types, and the media.
