I understand what you are saying but in his first post his first line said the officers actions were completely out of line. Sometimes by the time the thread gets long the early comments are buried.
LEO are being gunned down because of BLM and a diffuse anger at the police. There are bad apples but the majority work hard at demanding jobs and try and do the right thing. With that in mind I try to support the police even when calling out the bad apple.
Then why do the good ones remain silent when one of their "brothers" is a bad apple?

I saw his original comment. But just saying “ the officer was out of line” lead me to my comments to him. This isn’t the time for a “tutorial” on the fine points of what you call a given killing. Who gives a rat’s a$$ if the “legal term” isn’t murder, but rather manslaughter, but that’s how a cop’s mind works. And FWIW, this officer wasn’t “out of line.” That’s not a term you use when someone has just been shot to death by a cop without any justification whatsoever. It’s interesting that the Somali Cop is now taking the Fifth. If he truly made a mistake, he should be owning up to it and saving the legal system the time and costs associated with prosecuting him.
But here we have a lesbian chief of police and a mayor who dons a hijab and hangs around with the only Muzzie Congressman in the country. You figure out what the next steps are going to be. Noor will probably end up being promoted.
