Unfortunately, two black males decided to shoplift the convenience store where the incident happened that night. Unfortunately, a white Police Officer responded to the call and not a black P/O, of which Berkeley, MO has a number of. Unfortunately, the white Officer had just been issued a body cam, but not had been trained in the use of it yet, so it wasn't activated. Unfortunately, the dash cam wasn't activated because the light bar wasn't activated. Unfortunately, the black male pulled a weapon on the white officer. Fortunately, the black male was too slow to pull the trigger, failed to pull the trigger, couldn't get the safety off, thought the officer would back down or pull out his pepper spray or pull his taser, as the black males mother thought should have happened. Fortunately, the white Officer, in that split second the black male pulled his weapon and pointed it at the white Officer, was able to recognize the black males weapon, draw his own weapon (no safety as Glocks have no safety), fire at the black male 3 times, fatally striking him once, and save his own life.
What did the black male do wrong? It's not rocket science to figure this out. What did the white officer do wrong? ABSOLUTELY, NOTHING.
Now, with all the facts as they are, why did the gathering of blacks, after this incident, decide to go across the street to another convenience store and start smashing windows at it? BECAUSE OF THE CULTURE OF VIOLENCE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT.
I really wonder if all this violence would have happened if Brown, Garner and Martin had been killed by black police officers? Probably not.
