Name calling again? As NONE of us has all of the facts (don't "facts matter"?), WE can't determine if the shooting is justified or not. Again, it is the police and the prosecutors who will make that determination. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on whether the shooting is justified or not, however attempts to demean people for their opinion is juvenile at best.

By the by, this was by NO mean a "minor" shoving, albeit it was a single shoving incident. Yes, the victim did not appear to end up with severe head trauma from cracking their skull on the concrete, but any time someone is violently shoved to the ground, the risk of injury and sever trauma is high.

I am willing to take the jab about hypocrisy, since it appears the difference between commenting about behavior versus blatant name calling of people is lost on some people.

I reiterate that it is the job of the police and the prosecutor to review these cases and determine if the shooting was justifiable or not, and they will do so based upon all of the evidence collected. No one on this board gets to make that determination, unless there is a trial and we are on the jury. Beyond that, we all get our opinion, however without assessing all of the facts, an absolute finding of guilt on this board is premature. The vitriol that accompanies opinions only demonstrates an emotional attachment to a position, not a decision based upon facts.

Well said.
