Giving Cops A Bad Name

In Ohio, cops chased a van and used stop sticks to disable it. When it stopped, the lead cop shot and killed a father in front of his three small children and his girlfriend. Then led his girlfriend off in handcuffs, even though she had done nothing. Why the cop shot him is unknown. The cops tore the van apart, looking for anything they could use to support the killing of this unarmed, innocent man. Yes, he did refuse to stop. But did that warrant a death sentence, to be carried out immediately, in front of his children? Part of the coverup is a claim that he used his van as a weapon, but that is unsupported by reality. The cop involved, which his department has refused to name, was just a bit too quick on the trigger. Some would say that's the result of the "Black Lives Matter" campaign against cops, making them "trigger happy." But I believe this is just one cop who was ill trained, and panicked. It is one of the exceptions that have given good cops a bad name. I was pulled over by a cop recently, and I'm probably lucky my cop wasn't in panic. No ticket given, though. He was one of the good cops. (Three Percenter Nation)
