so in the video that is online, you can plainly hear the caretaker tell police the guy doesnt have a weapon that its just a toy truck. so how does the officers 'story' justify the shooting? are the police so incompetent that none of them took the time to listen to the man? the shoot first mentality of U.S. police is why we now see innocent people die every week. there may not be racism involved, but you combine the massively incompetent police we continue to see in every city and state in the nation, with the fact that black people are statistically more likely to get encountered by hostile police, and that gives us the present situation. to add to it, the blue wall of silence makes all officers guilty by association. as another poster pointed out earlier, americans are OBSESSED with making all muslim groups condemn every single act of violence. yet police can never seem to find a single incident as out of bounds. and never do you hear law enforcement condemn themselves and own up to their incompetence.
