I just got through watching the body cam footage of the police shooting that guy in the hotel lobby. I actually felt a little queasy afterward.

I can't believe the officer was acquitted. I hope the jury saw that camera footage.

The police had the individual in a control position but made him move from that control position and then shot him because he was no longer under their control and he reached to pull up his pants.

Why didn't they just keep him in the control position laying down? Again, what was the hurry? The police had control of the environment?

But I understand that the officer probably feels bad about this so I guess we are all set.
