Much like the recent police shooting of a black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri

The circumstances of the two shootings are not comparable. Mr. Jones was not rushing the officer and had not punched the officer already in the face.

Once an officer in a stop orders one to perform an action that requires some bodily movement then it is a shooting situation. If the driver moves to retrieve his wallet or to do anything else he is open to being shot. If he doesn't move he is in noncompliance and liable to be shot. The time is coming if we don't get a handle on this when the only rational response to being stopped by a police officer while in your car will be to try to shoot the officer before he shoots you.

Law enforcement has always attracted the type of person who wants to wear a phallus/gun on their hip as proof of the masculinity they are unsure of-but the psychological screening used in the past weeded most of that type out before they ever started training, and kept those who were more motivated to assist others and prevent real crime.

I don’t know how the hiring process has changed in the last 15 or so years, but whatever it is letting in every loose cannon and giving them a gun-and making the rest of us fear being assaulted or shot for a minor traffic violation...
