If the guy turned out to be the Beltway Sniper and he let him go, we would be kicked his azz right now. But it could explained away.
He was clearly criminally wrong to shoot him but withholding information about the victim in order to avoid discoloring him is wrong too.
The narrative is about a white cop killing a black person for no reason other than racism. The reality is that a government agent gunned down a private citizen for failing to obey.
I don’t have anything other than a difference in color right now to say ‘racism’. I really don’t think it is that, though.
To me, it is power coupled with a very obvious psychological problem we have as a society in choosing those people to uphold and enforce our laws.
Clearly, a mistake was made in hiring this one.
