In the recent Miami incident the police did look inept. There was no gun. There was no aggression toward the police. The individual they shot at was sitting on the ground playing with a toy truck. The individual hit by one of the three shots was lying on the ground with his hands up.
An across the board knee-jerk defense of every police shooting is just as bad as an across the board knee-jerk condemnation. We need to be able to objectively assess each case on its own merits. In the vast majority of instances the shootings seem justified. But from time to time there is an unjustified shooting. Surely we can recognize that reality.
I can’t - I don’t know the facts.
