Well that’s a relief. Glad to know he was aiming at the OTHER unarmed person on the street. /sarc

Two big points about the media.

1. They keep saying black man shot overshadowing the fact that it was in the leg.

2. They keep saying WHITE Hispanic cop.

I'm not saying at all that this was a good shoot, but let's clear up something: a person doesn't have to be visibly "armed" to pose a threat to other people, even police. A displayed assaultive intent ratchets up the justification to defend with deadly force dramatically. After all, Trayvon Martin was "unarmed" when he attacked Zimmerman, but was rightfully shot anyway.

I'd like to know more about this case before assigning blame.
