Sorry, but life (and most issues) can't be answered with just a...yes or no.

And I have never, not even once, said that a LEO doesn't have the right and justification in using deadly force...to protect themselves if their own life is in jeopardy.

From all of the facts, video and eye-witness statements of this incident though...I don't believe deadly force was justified.

Then add the cops actions afterward and....

Since you seem to like yes/no questions though...I have one for you.

Feel free, as I have, to expand on just...the yes or no choice.



Do you believe that more blacks (percentage wise), especially young black men, are stereotyped/stopped/hassled/arrested...more often than young white men in the exact same circumstances?
