You didn't answer my question. If he was a serious threat why didn't he shoot?

He was holding a taser. He said if he were holding his gun instead of his taser, he would have fired that.

That's a sad commentary.

No, he should not have been shot.

Comply or die! Yahoooooo.

Did you do this scientifically? How many white guys acting as such did you look over? How many black? Did you correlate their actions to make sure they were similar? Please provide us the details of such an evaluation, I am sure it would be enlightening.

It seems the Police Chief and District Attorney may have been more interested in preventing a riot than anything else.

If they don't charge her, there SHOULD be a riot! That Is, unless you think it's OK to just gun someone down for nothing.

Our police deal with violent offenders every day without killing them. Yes, I do understand our police rarely come across someone with a gun, but, as I say, they come across a lot of dangerous people. They manage to arrest them, without killing them. Even before tasers, they arrested, without killing offenders. Is it all about training?
