'Feared for his life' while shooting men, women in the back, in their car, on the ground...of course, usually black or maybe brown. Same thing. And if I'm sick of it, I cry for them and their families who have to endure the results of law enforcement using that 'excuse.'
I have begun stopping and watching interactions lately between law enforcement and our citizens. After one, we all agreed respect was used...and I had to wonder if that respect stepped up a notch BECAUSE I was watching. I haven't figured out how to use that app (well, any app. A friend let me use their smart phone when I ran and I'm not sure I can afford it, so many uses I never learned.)
