Quote:First of all, yes it does sometimes happen in extremely rare circumstances.  99% of all police officers do not go around shooting people for no apparent reason.

 

Nobody is saying that it's an "open and closed clean shooting".

 

All that I am saying is the only FACTS about the case that we know about is what the media reports.  Looking at what is being reported, the "child" was not an innocent person just walking to the store to get some skittles.  The guy was a thug and up to no good.  We haven't heard the other side of the story, that being what the police officer saw and encountered.

 

Was the shooting justified?  There is no saying one way or the other at this point.  All that we have are theories.  The media is trying desperately to paint this as some kind of racial issue along with "Reverend Jack Son" equating it to a "state execution".  Where was all of the outrage and statements made when some black thugs executed a white baby?  How much looting and rioting took place after that?

 

My theory is that this "model citizen" provoked the officer in some way to not only draw his weapon, but to actually force him to make the choice to use deadly force.

 

Where in the media is the side of the story of the police officer being reported?

 

That number is a little generous, wasn't it just 2 years ago JSO shot an old man for yelling at what he thought was drug dealers on his front yard. He told them to get lost and the JSO that was working undercover shot the old man.

 

point is the kid probably was up to no good, but when did that become a justifiable reason to shot him? Officers are to up hold the law not execute judgement. If the kid was going for the gun lets see the evidence than you take ALL the wind out of the mobs sails. 

 

When a citizen is shot it's on the authority to PROVE it's a clean shooting, it's not on the public to assume and accept it was a clean shooting.
