You want to argue that this was an accident, fair point, I’m willing to agree that the evidence supports that conclusion.

But shooting and killing an unarmed man who was in the process of fleeing an arrest for a damned bench warrant is in no way justified. He posed no threat to either those officers or to the public at large. There was no reason they couldn’t just let him go and catch him later at his home.

The reality is a man is dead because our police system treats all black men as hulking monsters who must be treated with extreme suspicion until they are either in cuffs or lying dead on the ground.
