The cover up was certainly awful and should not have happened.
As awful as the killing was, I can somehow understand how it happened. I feel that the officer was extremely frightened, felt his life was in jeopardy and justifiably shot the first shot.
After the first shot, I think he just freaked out...adrenaline kicked in and I feel he was temporarily in sane. He just went nuts and shot, and shot, and shot 16 times. Terrible and awful....but this is what I think might have happened.
I'm certainly not justifying his actions, just kind of understanding what may have happened.
