When I read that excuse about mistaking the gun for a taser I just stared in disbelief. Really? Really??
Either it was a poor excuse to coverup what really happened, or it points to bad training.
The media is already trying to make this a left/right issue, but it's not. Everyone should be mad as hell at these killings, at this abuse of police power.
As you said..
Maybe one day I'll get to live in a country that doesn't murder citizens for the crime of driving while black.
