I'm not entirely comfortable bringing up what I did in this particular thread, because I feel like I can understand why the situation in the Black house ended the way that it did.

I'm generally not an aggressive person, but just about all of my physical encounters with people in my life occurred within the two to six months after I got jumped down in Denver once. I was hyper aggressive for awhile after that and definitely made engagements that I shouldn't have. With that personal experience in mind, I look at the Black situation and feel I can relate on some level as to why everything that transpired did. In short, that officer had to have still been amped after his previous engagement, and if he's working, he didn't have the option to just not get involved in a situation. So again, I'm not trying to make a judgement on the officer that killed Mr. Black, but it's certainly not an over reach to lose your job if you kill someone that wasn't supposed to be killed in my opinion.

Further clarification, I haven't, and won't watch the video, or read the report, for the sole reason that I know that I'll have interactions with police in the future, and I don't want to have those future interactions shaded with negativity from me watching a bunch of stuff that will piss me off. It's very easy to only look at sensationalized events and build an incorrect impression based on events of generally low occurrence rates. Hope that makes sense.
