Thanks for the discussion all. I am out for the night. Just would like to say I do understand LE have a tough job and most of them are passionate about what they do. But when a LEO shoots an unarmed person, we need to find out his reasoning for believing he was in immediate danger. We cannot have police running around think that they will always be given the benefit of the doubt in these cases, there have been too many documented cases of police brutality over the years to give that to them. They must prove that they had no other option and when they prove that, then they should be commended for having to be the one who pulled the trigger on another human being who was obviously suicidal. I just don't see that here yet... Not saying I won't,just saying not yet.
Going forward IMO, the only answer to put a stop to these incidents is for each LEO EVERYWHERE to have a quality bodycam with audio. That is what this has come to. Dash cams won't cut it. The question though becomes are the unions going to fight this? Do they really want us to see what happens day in and day out. Do they want us to see how there members interact with the public? The answer to that question will be extremely revealing.
