NYDN city editor spots story in National rag usually it’s the NYT assigns reporter Meg Wagner to “cover” along with suggesting cops are racists pigs spin. Classic example on how the “Salon Network” operates. Never mind the fact that the Ferguson story is a repeat of the Treyvon episode. A black thug gets killed attempting to take a gun from an enforcement officer. POTUS jumps in because it’s usefull to perpetuate racial strife. NTDN toes the line.

But not a peep when a young black man murders a sweet little black 1 year old, son of his new girlfriend. And how the poor child suffered at the hands of that animal.

That may be something worth protesting.

innocent people are added in this figure. like when they get the wrong house and blow away the owner. or shoot up the wrong vehicles.

it’s not a demand for proportionality, it’s adding relevant context to that 400 figure.

Some shoots are 'good' shoots, some are not. It pays to not jump to conclusions and wait for some evidence. I have no use for those who abuse their authority, and little fondness for the way many of our rights have been trampled for expediency, but there are occasions when the police use lethal force justifiably.

Let's put this another way.

Would you, as an ordinary citizen carrying concealed feel the use of lethal force was justified if this fellow had attacked you?

Walk a mile in the shoes, and if the shooting would not have been justified for a civilian who was carrying, chances are it was not justified.

Total agreement. Odd, that happens, well, not very often.
