Not sure why some people take the side of authority as a knee jerk reaction. Maybe because it makes you feel as though you are on the "winning" side. But that type of thinking is what will get us all oppressed someday.
I have no idea what happened in this case and maybe the shooting was justified. But you have to protect the rights of the people you hate, or society hates. Because by the time the police start violating the rights of regular people, it's too late to stop it. That's why you protect the rights of drug dealers, flag burners, and others you may not like. Because by the time the police start violating your rights, it's too late to stop them.
That's why the police need to be held the to the HIGHEST level of accountability and never be given the benefit of the doubt in any situation. If the police are truly honest and just, then they will have no problem being held to such a high standard. When they start to complain, you have to wonder why.
