    Justified? Wow America is more broken than I thought.

    School shooters should start signing up to the police first, then they will just get put on administrative leave for a few weeks instead of having to kill themselves or get shot.

    How do you make the calculation that lethal force in response to an alleged theft is a symmetrical response? How then, can a judge agree with that? I guess if you dehumanise the victim you can justify anything.

    If you must have guns everywhere, then shout the tires. Shoot to disable not to kill.

    As a father, whenever I see something like this it makes me so sad. If I try to imagine losing my daughter at 1 year old I almost can’t cope with the emotion. To think about the fear, pain, confusion that poor child felt… And all because a cop decided people deserve to die for a $20 alleged theft. Good job super cop. Here is your medal.

    The ability to empathise seems to be lost.
