But you do understand how giving the cops such leeway, over what civilians are held to, has led us to were even shooting such as this receive backlash?
Well, they sort of have to be afforded the leeway, otherwise the job would be near impossible, it’s just up to courts to make sure they apply it properly. Having the benefit of the doubt at the start doesn’t mean it has to be there throughout. If you fuck up like Slager, or the Indian cop who shot the Australian lady just for knocking on his window at night or the Asian cop who shot the guy in he staircase cause it was dark then they should be held to account.
Just think that, based on what info I see so for, this shooting isn’t one to get riled up about. Further, I think it hurts peoples cause when they throw their hat in with the “hands up don’t shoot” type histrionics without really knowing what they are talking about.
