Oh fuck me.
You can just tell what's wrong with the situation by the posts here. Police get away with murder. That's the problem here. In a world with alternative methods of subduing perpetrators like trained hand to hand combat, tasers, etc the cops still go for their guns. And those same guns cost more than cameras that they should be holding onto in case of such incidents like this one. No matter what side of the argument you're on, surely everyone can agree that the officer was piss pour at his job, should have been required to keep surveillance equipment on him, and shouldn't have been "afraid for his life" while wearing a vest, having professional training, a gun, etc while the kid didn't have any of those.
I know tension is running high for everyone right now, but he could be completely innocent and still be a complete fucking moron who doesn't deserve his job.
