I agree there was realistically no excuse for the shooting. But in these cases courtrooms and instructions to juries do not necessarily deal with what would be realistic if a properly trained person was correctly executing his duties in a situation he was supposedly trained to expect and handle. They deal with what the average person’s reactions and motivations be in such a situation. The key of this being of course whether they were in fear of their lives.
Then the judges instructions to the jury are a lie. And are there to counteract proper justice.
Whatever happened to that Somali cop in Minneapolis who killed an Australian white woman for no good reason?
