I think it is unclassy to go around calling someone racist and/or a murderer without really any evidence. I think it's stupid doing so when you know the investigation will shed a ton more light on the situation.
At this point though there's the usual suspects (not just on this website) yelling out "black gang member shot trying to kill officer, Murica!" and "racist pig kills and shoot innocent black teen" while closing their eyes and covering their ears to anything that might disprove their preconceived notion. The funny thing is both sides will want to use the innocent until proven guilty argument without giving the other side the benefit of the doubt. It's not so much a discussion as it is showing our biases.
Like it's been asked multiple times, what evidence would you need to change your view nik-? If the coroner's report comes back and it disproves the eyewitness statements then will you change your view or are you stuck on "cop is murderer" regardless of what happens?
