are you saying that there isn't some bias that came into play based on the poor guy being black?

It doesn't feel like police brutality to me. That's what confuses me. It feels like a [BLEEP] excuse for a cop (but not for that reason) completely screwed the pooch (but not in that way). I suppose we have to wait for the investigation. It's just too weird this time around to pin racial bias on it right away.


None of this should be interpreted as me defending the cop who pulled the trigger. He shouldn't have a badge, let alone access to a gun, but I'm not willing to call him a pig until we're sure this wasn't an accidental discharge of a fully automatic weapon.
