Opinion based on experience, I might add And my opinion is that posts accusing law enforcement that are doing their best to protect society, of being murderers is "low as it gets." And I find that to be VERY "shameful."
I am more willing to give the Police the benefit of doubt than a criminal, especially one that has a past and one that fights the police when they are doing their duty. I find lynch mobs, whether physically or verbally to be abhorrent.
Here's some facts for anyone that wishes to argue:

The deceased was intoxicated
The deceased was incapable of operating a motor vehicle
The deceased was uncooperative
The deceased was under arrest
The deceased resisted arrest
The deceased assaulted a police officer (a felony in some states)
The deceased escaped arrest
The deceased stole police property, a weapon
The deceased attempted to use said weapon on the police

Where is what I said "shameful?"

It appeared to me he assaulted two cops. Subsequent to him aborting their handcuffing him they had him down on the pavement. He violently threw them off. He may have been juiced up on something which would make him irrational and dangerous. The autopsy should show what he was on. He was a thug and had a violent history, including cruelty to a child, unforgivable.
