Facts don’t matter. A white policeman shot a black person. In the current mob hysteria that is all that matters. Basically, we are seeing the attitude on a national scale that once drove lynch mobs.
Have you considered the possibility that everyone has the same facts as you, but thinks this is wrong?
Rayshard grabbed their tazer, he pointed it at them, they shot him.
They didn’t need to. The entire escalation police was the doing. This could have gone a different way with a different mindset. Obey or die doesn’t seem to be working.
And now the residents have nowhere to go grocery shopping, get living essentials or get prescriptions filled. Can’t use public transportation to go elsewhere the metropolitan transit cancelled services.
Worked out well huh? The locals must be thrilled.
For years now, we’ve been told the tazer is non lethal. So let his drunk ass run around with it, since the putz cops ■■■■■■ up and gave it to him in the first place.

Based upon recent events, Rayshard may have feared his life was in immediate danger as the police attempted to take him into custody and was killed trying to save himself.
