Is shooting an unarmed person six times an example of excessive force? That question needs to be answered by a transparent and just investigation that brings facts not innuendo forward. The biggest mistake we can make is trying this incident before we all actually know what exactly happened. The race beaters are all out there and we all know who they are, they will exploit this incident to the fullest and they will cause many to not believe in our system of justice. Rioting and looting do nothing to bring the facts forward and to have some real accountability concerning this mans tragic death. On the surface it does seem as if shooting an unarmed person six times is a bit much but again we do not actually know what happened. There were witnesses and there will be evidence brought to the court that will explain exactly what occurred. However, if this police officer acted in such a way as it can be proven that he used excessive force and that he reacted in such a way that he abused his authority as a law enforcement officer then he should be held accountable for this mans death. If on the other hand the officer had no choice and his or other lives were endanger then this is another matter altogether. At this point none of us actually know what happened. It is disturbing to everyone when something like this happens and then we watch on TV as hundreds riot in the streets and become violent and damage and steal property in the name of an alleged race crime. The truth will emerge and at some point we will all know what actually occurred. People are all over the news networks spewing lies and making stuff up that we now know not to be true. A lady on MSNBC said today that the victim was shot in the back, we now know this is not true because the autopsy was released today. Others have said he had his hands up in a gesture of surrender, we now know this is also not true based on eye witness accounts. These kinds of things just fuel the fire of racism and confuse the real issue. Most law enforcement officers do an outstanding job under very trying circumstances and just like real life mistakes are sometimes made certain individuals over react others do not. We need to be patient and we need a thorough and impartial investigation. Calling for the life of this policeman is insanity, we do not have any right to assume he is guilty of a crime yet. This is lynch mob mentality and not justice. This is not hang um high this is America and we all need to let our system work.
