        Why don't we just put scopes on police officers' guns so they can see better? (Or separate from their gun)

        How about they learn when to shoot first before we give them more equipment champ?

        I don't appreciate your condescension. Good point, though. Aledda was told by someone 15-20 feet away it wasn't a firearmpic.twitter.com/XMKjeweoNM

        Fair, I apologize good sir. But, I will say the approach of "what can we do for officers" is wrong. No officers shot here.

        No worries. It does make me wonder how I would react in his shoes. Would like to think I would do a good job w/ the info at my disposal

        Ridiculous, isn't it? He should have been charged the day it happened. That poor man was nothing but respectful and he got shot for it.

        "Charged" does not mean "convicted" in America

        Good. Officers need to be held accountable for bad shoots.

        It's about time! He should have been charged a year ago. And THANK GOD the man shot wasn't killed and is ok, physically. 😞
