Not to trail off on the topic at hand =P
Can't we all agree that the problem is much further underlying. i.e. Police training and proper engagement in potentially hostile situations. Perhaps it was a newbie officer who shot first whom was under-trained to deal with this incident, or a tired cop pulling a double-shift..., the problem goes much deeper than the actual incident..., the one consistent on here as that you've all showed incidents of cops doing bad things, so its universal, not just in America, so this widespread problem is rooted in something much bigger than we all care to comprehend...
Take for instance the "teachers" ie, the Police Academy and their policy's and procedures on engaging potentially hostile/armed civilians, but then again, I'm sure those policy's were drafted by the Congress whom wanted to make our streets safer because of the INSANE amount of guns on the streets of America (since... I honestly don't know when, before my time), not realizing in fact they are harming future potential police forces whom tailor their training to deal with HOSTILE America, not passive America. Or do we blame the Government that first allowed civilians to bare arms (fucking Lincoln was it?), b/c if that wasn't the case, then likely, this any many other deaths would not have happened.
It's not like America's going to get invaded from foreign countries anytime soon, so, the gun laws should have been changed way back when America finished WWII and the potential for invasion has pretty much never existed since, but since, the gun laws have not changed, so as they continue to flow into the streets of America through legal means, meanwhile policy's and law's have been re-written in many different arms/branches of government (security guards, homeland security, private security firms, drones surveying the border of USA/Mexico) to deal with and react to situations involving firearms. It's like we're battling a disease with a slight variation of the same disease instead of trying to find an antibody.
So, perhaps a dumb officer shot first and the others followed suit, as a gang does..., but the blame stems from a source rooted much deeper than the police that shot the innocent man.
We all know majority of the police are good people and humane, just like some of us growers and connoisseurs and then, just like us growers and connoisseurs, we have our bad-apples, but in the case of the bad-cops, they're ability to abuse their power &/or fuck-up and kill somebody, far exceeds that of someone whom is taking part in an illegal grow show and therefore is far from humane and he/she/they should be held accountable for his actions. The humane thing to do is first and foremost, tak responsibility for their actions and be sympathetic IN THEIR FUCKUP, then explain why it happened. Not immediately hop to the defense and offer no condolences, how does that do anything but create more animosity and more of a rift between the people and the badge? Oh, and that cop's that fired their pistols, should stand trial. That is Just and fair.
It's all about protecting the institutions man, sadly so.
