This is no surprise to most cops. It also conflicts with the left-wing narrative about police shootings.https://twitter.com/janecoaston/status/1131205172535939074 …

That they result mainly from racist white cops shooting young black men who are just minding their own business or, at worst, committing mostly harmless petty teen hooliganism - as opposed to mostly arising from dangerous, unstable, unpredictable situations.

The Garner case was awful; there are, of course, particular cases that are awful. Although recall that the narrative in that case (the chokehold) was not what killed Garner.

Precisely. There are police shootings that are 100% obviously justified and that are 100% obviously straight-up murder. But generalizing from the outliers is hazardous.

The problems arise when white leaders seek to defend the justifiable shootings while failing to condemn the murders. If they don't speak up against the murders, they haven't engendered the trust necessary to address the shootings that are justified

I agree with this entirely. I think public officials should give the cops the benefit of the doubt, but that is a very different thing than turning a blind eye to the actual evidence.
