He shouldn’t have been killed but he also shouldn’t have taken the taser from the cop, tried to run away and shot the taser at the cop. This isn’t a clear case of police wrongdoing. Still a tragedy he lost his life. Policing policy needs reform.

Memo: He was shot in the back. A policeman is not judge and jury.

Being charged with murder is not the same as being convicted and serving serious jail time. It's also not the same as changing the laws to make such convictions routine.

The very fact that he was charged is meaningful and historically different.

It’s happening... The uprising has begun. The people are rising up. The people are stepping in.

The DA who just charged the cops in the Rayshard Brooks is currently under investigation for funneling $140,000 in supplement his salary, is facing allegations of sexual harassment, and is currently facing a tough primary challenge.

So, a police office's charges took into account the power of the mob?
