If there is any reasonable way a police officer can avoid taking a life, that is the correct course of action.
I didn't mean to get hung up on this specific example. There seem to be many flagrant abuses of power by local police services across the United States.
If nothing else, the training these organisations receive is showing to be grossly inadequate for what they have to deal with, and a lack of oversight compounds the problem.
I don't know what it will take for Americans to start viewing black people as human beings, but that's your ultimate solution to this mess.
I'm all over the map here - I apologise. It's an emotional topic.
