Police culture in america has to change...like seriously are these people trained to believe that civilians are some sort of enemy threat?

Yes they are trained to put their lives above all others. I want anyone to try and justify this.

Do you know how many steps have to happen before we can shoot someone in war? In a foreign country where we are literally at war, there is a process before shooting to kill. Some cops are shooting first and asking questions later and blaming it on "the heat of the moment."
I'm just baffled. This makes zero sense.

I was mad before and now I'm just infuriated! It is EXTREMELY clear that the autistic male did NOT have a gun in the video I saw. It is also extremely clear that he was in fact mentally handicapped. There was NO reason for any officer to shoot either one of them... This is an excuse to try and cover up yet another shooting that was un called for... If we keep making excuses for the bad cops, eventually no one will trust even the good cops!
