the Kajieme Powell shooting video

If the man pulled a knife on the store owner and the owner shot him then and there, WAY different situation. Again, police are public servants. The store owner has a right to protect himself and his store. Police rolled up on the offensive. They have to show restraint that the store owner does not have to. That is completely different.

Again, I say this over and over - dude was an idiot. But there is a deeper issue than his idiocy. Was he acting like that because he was a crazy black guy? Or is there something else charging this type of behavior? You guys are focusing on a tree and missing the rest if the forest. I have no intention repeating myself anymore. Just be aware of what you are really supporting when you say "the police did nothing wrong." If you think "it's them vs. Us" is appropriate mentality for police, please don't weigh in on these issues, because you don't understand what a police officer's job is.
