poor judgement kills
Wed Mar 28 22:15:54 EDT 2018Sacramento police fatally shoot unarmed man holding cellphone in backyard
Well, let's just ask it this way:How many of you would be outraged if police fired 20 shots at an unarmed white man in his grandmother's back yard?
Sunday 00:02
20 shots fired; 9? hit him, 8 in the back.
What sort of threat is a man facing away from you?
Where did all those shots that missed go? Should the police be the source of stray bullets in a residential neighborhood?
How threatened should one be before it's acceptable to fire at a target one can't see well enough to hit? (A target that one can't see well enough to determine correctly whether there is a weapon to be a threat?)
