You know how it could've been avoided? If the dude wasn't resisting arrest
Edit: since this is confusing people, let me be clear. The woman who shot him deserves to lose her job and be charged. But still, the situation wouldn't have happened if he wasn't resisting arrest. Everyone should be held accountable for their own actions.
I've seen a white gangbanger shot in similar circumstances when resisting arrest. Regardless of your opinion on racism or police, its never a good idea to put your life in the hands of someone else's competence if you can help it. Fucking around with people holding guns seems like a Darwin Award waiting to happen.
