Virginia was completely inexcusable, just like the George Floyd murder. I watched it all this AM on the News and just shook my head in complete fucking dismay... as in what was wrong with that stupid, Goddamned cop? Luckily, he didn't murder that soldier. As for the news in Los Angeles today? What they reported---EXACTLY---in Minnesota, was that Duante was pulled over for some minor infraction. When they ran his license they found an outstanding warrant. They THEN ordered him out of the car. Instead, he resisted arrest by taking off and was shot fleeing. That's EXACTLY what was reported on the News. If it went as YOU wrote it, and I have a hunch it went EXACTLY as you wrote it, then this is simply another major-league police fuckup. The problem lies in the training these police departments use because by now you'd think that every police officer in the country would be totally sensitive to the stakes at hand while stopping a black man...or anyone else for that matter. Something's fundamentally wrong in police training and procedures. Like knee to the neck choke holds for example.
