This is the problem with law enforcement they’re all chickenshit fucking cowards. And as long as they’re scared, any action they take is legal.

I’m so tired of hearing the same old excuse “I only used my firearm because I believed my life was in danger” well that’s a nice story, but the suspect was holding his cell phone, not a gun. It sounds like what you should have done was grow a pair and keep your cool. If you were still too scared, you should have left, or called for backup, or fucking resign. Killing someone when you’re scared isn’t acceptable behavior, it’s murder.

And let me say once and for all, police, you are allowed to run away. If a situation is scary if one of the people in a group you’re looking at is black, you’re allowed to run. I know that’s sooo scary, so you have permission to leave whenever you think a situation is getting out of hand. It’s actually been established that police have no obligation to protect the public, so in those iffy situations, just leave. Just don’t kill anyone.

Sorry for that tangent, I know this isn’t really what the story is about.
