Cops are supposed to be TRAINED to handle situations.

Larry OāDell who wrote this piece of ājournalismā says:
āSurveillance video from the car wash showed the officer and Brown struggled briefly before a shot was fired.ā
Yet the police have withheld both the video and the incident report from public view.
How then could this reporter write what he did? Did he see the video or is he going on what the cops told him?
Something smells about all this.

This photo, and written article together are shoddy reporting. Coupled with extreme over reaction by a cop.
Perhaps we should rethink that. If car theft were a capital offense, we wouldnāt be lumbered with Darrell Issa today. Just sayinā.

Mcboo, there was considerably more crime back then as compared to now. Yet cops are shooting people all over the place. Part of this impression comes from increased media coverage of such shootings, which all began with Mike Brown. Heās still dead for no reason and everybody walked away from that one.
I didnāt know driving someoneās car, even without permission, was a capital offense. Reaching for non-weapons ā also a capital offense. Forget about āstrugglingā with a cop. Donāt look at a cop the wrong way. Donāt say mean things to him because heās fragile. Capital offense. Donāt startle a cop in any way shape or form. Remember, itās Halloween soon, so donāt go ābooā or ātrick or treatā to a cop. He could get spooked and start shooting. If you reach for your phone or wallet or pen or air or nothing or if you just feel like stretching ā capital offense.
What the hell sorts of scared little rabbits are we hiring as cops? What manner of delicate snowflakes?

Easy,easy, I said maybe not would be! But he definitely wonāt be now.
There was obviously NOTHING this teen could have done to prevent this incident. His impoverished background, an abusive father, peer pressure resulting in substance abuse, eating lead paint from the walls of substandard housing and just the general grind of poverty and poor circumstance DEMANDED he impulsively commandeer a police car in contravention of all norms of civil, law abiding behavior. Police everywhere should realize U.S. citizens are going to routinely commits acts that an outsider would view as outrageous affronts to accepted rules and laws. However, they must learn to accepts these crimes for what they are, acts committed by persons wholly unable to avoid committing them. They are not responsible for what they do.
Why would you drive someoneās car without permission? How about this novel approach to living: donāt break the law.
How about the police not choosing to be judge, jury and executioner? Thatās might help too.

You say that like itās possible for the average citizen to go through an average day without breaking some law or another.
