BLACK MAN SHOT BY POLICE WHILE LYING ON GROUND WITH HANDS UP
I'm excited to hear the latest garbage nonsense about why this was OK and somehow justified. I wonder if the cop will face any punishment?

Fortunately no one was killed or permanently injured, so the police officer should simply be fired. Santa's video is a great example of how these situations can be damn tough, but this one seems like a relative softball. With one of the men already complying, the police officer could have taken cover, called for backup, and proceeded cautiously. Instead he panicked and sent an innocent man to the hospital. I suspect he feels terrible about the whole business, but, to quote Dalton, he doesn't have the temperament for the trade.
The real villains here are the people stirring up race hatred with misleading headlines. The police officer was shooting at the autist (no doubt an avid tracker with multiple vulak loots) who was holding what he thought was a gun, not the caretaker on the ground. Since he was shot by accident, his race is irrelevant, and there is an
80% chance that the shooter is Hispanic or Black. Instead the average Liberal will read this article, apply confirmation bias, and incorrectly increase his confidence in the 'racist police are out to kill black people' narrative.
