Important to be honest here... if the old white man was a young black dude, pretty much everyone on this site would be fine with what happened here.
I have to say... that cop let that dude get up on him and physically attack him. The cop was obviously hesitant to use ANY force to stop the attacker. Almost to the point that if the attacker were so inclined, he could've just taken the officers gun away from him.
The sickening part is how a man just watched another man get murdered & he is celebrating the moment simply because the man killed was a different race. I HIGHLY doubt the guy filming would be so jubilant had the attacker been a brotha.
I agree, the only part that bothered me was the real time reaction. My take on this was the same as my take on most police shootings, which is that it sucked that it had to happen but it was a good shoot.
Cheering it on and yelling racist comments at someone who is dying is another beast entirely. The problem with this video is the commentator.
