It's interesting how you are allowed to have your opinion, but anyone who doesn't have your opinion shouldn't have one.
There's always two sides to every story.
To me this all comes back to my main argument with T Martin. At the end of the day a young man who was unarmed was shot to death.
There is still a lot to come out of this before we get to the end of this story. In my mind situations like this are decided in the first few seconds of the interaction. As the adult, with a gun in your possession you accept certain responsibilities. It's up to you to maintain your cool and keep the situation at hand.
And in my opinion I feel like the officer may have been a little aggressive which provoked the 18 y/o. And when the 18 y/o disrespected the officer he felt he needed to show his authority. And from there the situation got out of hand.
But I also reserve the right to change my assumptions once more facts are known. And I don't see anything wrong with that.
