Wait.. 55th in 18 days?!? That doesn't pass the smell test.

We average about 100 a month in this country. Most nations don't have 100 in a decade.

It's crazy to think that more American citizens have died at the hands of their own police force than all the terrorism on US soil combined.

I don't think Haynes was black... but the sentiment remains the same.

And don't forget - ZERO training to defuse tense situations. The fact that the professions attracts bullies, combined with carte blanche to use violent force, combined with no training whatsoever, is a lethal cocktail.

and sadly that wasn't by accident

The best way I can recommend for anyone to not be killed by a cop is to abolish the police.

Shaun, am I correct in assuming this child had to pass through a security scan to enter the courthouse--and the officer therefore had absolute assurance the child was unarmed?

Been to that courthouse many times. They have metal detectors, x-rays for any bags, make you empty your pockets. No one has weapons but cops

OMG! Options they have options they are in charge murder isn’t an option.

Stun gun, pepper spray, 2-5 officers to restrain, plenty on options the cop just wanted to shoot someone. Why was the gun even unholstered? To be killed by those who are suppose to protect and serve #sad

Protect and serve does not mean protect and serve citizens. Protect and serve means business and the government organization they work for. Most police consider citizens Enemy of the State and take that attitude

True!
