This is the kind of comment that drives me nuts. NATURALLY a million different decisions could have been made by everyone at any point in the space / time continuum leading up to this event which was captured on video. This is usually where people pretend it was the parents fault, or the aunt, or some idiot who gives a royal fuck who. If we're just wildly speculating about what could have happened then why don't we just pretend he could have sprouted his wings and his horn and flown away with a virgin over the rainbow? So why didn't he do that?
The video shows what it shows and we comment on what we've seen. Those are the rules. The cop in the video at the end says all he needed to say to make it a justifiable killing. 1. He was suspect. 2. He reached for a gun. Period. That is not a high enough standard in my personal view and I shared it. I stand by it 100%, even though I COULD have baked a cake instead and avoided the whole thing.
