“The reality is that Officer Wilson simply was doing his job.”
Yes, my take. Now the flip side. He is catching the flack for all the bad shoots cops ignore. Things like the stairwell shooting event, with the commissioner wanting to dismiss it as a mere accident. Or the Dorner hunt. Countless shootings that are far too questionable, but the cop always walks.
Simply put, people are so used to whitewashes that an innocent cop is simply assumed to be another Blue Line special.
25-30 Looters at the Walgreens, shots fired at Shop-n-save, 200 protestors in lot, 10 store employees trapped.
