Without a doubt, regardless of whether the gun was fake or not or whether the cops were told that it might be fake, the cops should assume it's real until otherwise. I have no problem with them treating it as such until they have confirmation. The thing is, if you look at the video, the cops basically did a drive by shooting on this kid. They rolled right up to him and shot him within seconds. It's very difficult to believe that they were shouting for him to show his hands, or if they were, that he had the proper time to register that information or what was going on at all actually. There have been other cases like this, I can recall a similar case around the same time as this one that happened in San Diego.You know what the cops did? They didn't stupidly roll up on him, immediately escalating the situation.They approached him from a distance and issued commands. They gave him an opportunity to do the right thing instead of turning up the dial on the situation. That guy got taken in alive. That approach would have made 1000x more sense in this scenario than the drive by approach. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
