St. Louis officers chant ‘whose streets, our streets’ while arresting protesters

Cars can kill people. Ramming a car makes you a threat.

dashcam footage shows he clipped the car turning around.

Driving into oncoming traffics makes you a threat.

Which was over when he was shot. He was at a complete stop. He should have been charged with reckless driving not riddled with bullets.

If he was pinned by the air bags when he was shot, the court would have heard about and Stockley would have been in jail.

They did, but his defense argued that he saw him reaching for a gun (never heard that one before).

This is why the legal system is not subject to public opinion.

But it's still subject to opinion and biases.

Trends have no effect on individual cases. You cannot let other events cloud your judgement.

It would be stupid to ignore a "trend" (it's more like a sub-culture at this point) like this. Many developed countries do not have this problem. This is quite particular to the US.

If this same thing didn't play out time and time again you might have a point. But the truth is cops get away with killing people when they shouldn't.

There is no excuse for this man's actions and he is never going to take responsibility for this.

I've read over as much as i can find on this case and I still cannot see how you can justify this sort of thing unless you've become so desensitized to police violence that you just don't give a shit.
