Call us crazy, but some of us want to know all the facts before we condemn the policeman.
It’s not those people that I’m talking about. It’s the ones who excuse the policeman completely before the facts are in. And it looks bad. He might be exonerated at some point, but right now, it looks like he shot a stupid petty thief, maybe even one who was trying to give up.
One day it’s going to be us. I am not ignoring all the murders and attacks and shooting and break ins by the cops. I’m sorry. This officer is going to have to prove he didn’t murder this Michael person. I’m not pretending the man was innocent or even law abiding. Just that it doesn’t look at all like he deserved to be shot down in the street.
And the looters were just criminals and villains. Stinking vermin.
