Shit. Now that I think about it, I can't really think about it when the Police sided with the people.
Also, is this real?

As it is now in many jurisdictions, the justifiable killing of innocents is an outrage.
That said, it is amplified by WaPo and media beyond proportion. You didn’t read about the death of an innocent family due to head on collision by the 12 times convicted drunk driver, or the 5 people gunned down on the south side in a drug deal gone sideways. Those unnamed victims of everyday senseless crime number into the tens of thousands. Which is why we need the police, why we need the police to do a better job, not add to the body count, and not get distracted by these highly publicized screw ups.
We should hold the screwed uppers accountable of manslaughter, and move along. While it’s a travesty that anyone gets killed, it is the exception. If we punish the screw ups, they will stop, one way or another. Either police will do a better job, or the likely failures will quit the police force, or they wil kill someone and go to jail.
