I’m with you: yes, the crud who called the false report in deserves severe punishment. - but the really important issue is how police doctrine and tactics changed to “shoot now and often”.
The guy was a dad, completely innocent and he did not deserve to be murdered in front of his family. I would even suggest that his life, as a US citizen, was every bit as important as a police officer’s life.
If our police are too scared, or too stupid, or too uncaring - maybe it’s time to shitcan the whole force and start over.
We all agree that the policeman who fired was in the wrong; if you want to continue to bitch about that fact, START YOUR OWN THREAD!! -- and stop hijacking this one.
you are right about that,a sceared man with a gun will kill you.
