There is more here than has been reported. Basically, we’re hearing only from the family side, and I’ve been around the block long enough here near Atlanta to know that....

Yep, it's a one sided story designed to gather sympathy for the family. Anything the police say now about the circumstances surrounding the shooting will be dismissed as a cover-up.

We don't know the officer's background, whether he has been involved in other confrontations, we don't know if the perp was armed or presumed to be armed or startled the officer to react in this way, or what.

Best to see all the evidence before passing judgement. And the family will not know anything until the investigation is complete.

They will not like the results either way it goes.

Hmmm.... an illegal whom the family admits had “problems.” Hailing from Dundrum, a Dublin neighborhood known as a rough, high crime area. While it is good to keep an open mind, for now my benefit of the doubt goes to the cop. Something we'll never know—because the timid Irish authorities won't cooperate—is whether this guy had a police record in Ireland.
