That doesn't warrant use of lethal force.

You know that.

The guy knew that.

The police officer that shot knew that.

The other two police officers immediately knew that.

Don't be disingenuous with the whole "just comply!" argument. He made a bad choice. She made a terrible accident. It's sad for everybody involved.

Yes I do know that. She needs to lose her job immediately and be charged with something. But that doesn't change the fact that the whole thing would've been avoided if he had just complied. It really is that simple.

I don't disagree with you, but at the same time, I was 20 once and when your adrenaline gets going and the flight response kicks in, it can be very difficult to maintain yourself.

The situation just sucks all around and I hope people there can be clear headed enough to take a breath and see it for what it was.

I was also 20 at one time. Never once did I resist arrest or try to fight a cop.
