Any defense of this shoot is ridiculous.
He cleared the building and immediately obtained a sight picture and fired before any sort of threat assessment could be done.
But, even if you give him the benefit of the doubt for his first shots, he then fires more rounds while the guy clearly has his hands in the air.
To say everybody assessing this shoot and wanting justice is anti-cop is preposterous. And the people saying so is everything that’s wrong with law enforcement. Trying to defend your brothers even when they’ve done terrible shit. Police need to be held to a higher standard, not a lower one. And that starts with the good police calling out the bad ones for their unlawful and immoral actions, and demanding justice.
