@MontereyJack,

Perhaps. But that's a separate issue from BLM thugs protesting for the right to murder police officers.
I'm not sure what can be done to prevent mistaken shootings. What I am sure of is that leftists will undermine any effort to figure out a solution.
I'm not sure what the point of even trying to look for a solution is when it is guaranteed to be a waste of energy.
My advice to people who can afford it is that they should wear body armor so that they increase their odds of surviving a mistaken shooting (or any shooting at all for that matter). I don't anticipate any solutions coming.

I certainly treat it more seriously than the left does. The left doesn't care at all once they find out that an innocent dead person is white.
I hope that the city paid out major compensation to his next of kin.
MontereyJack wrote:Are you going to try to argue he deserves to have been shot or the cop was justified?
No. Unlike Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, Christopher Roupe was not trying to murder a police officer or murder the captain of the neighborhood watch.

Only problem was, she mistakenly walked into HIS apartment and killed him? Was that a justified shooting, a black man trying to kill a white cop?
That sounds like a tragic accident.
I hope that the city paid out major compensation to his next of kin.
MontereyJack wrote:There's definitely a problem here.
Maybe. But I'm not sure how to solve it. And I'm sure that leftists will deliberately undermine any effort to even try to solve it.
MontereyJack wrote:Bad shootings, bad cops. Not all cops are bad of course, but any that are is too many.
A mistaken shooting is definitely a bad shooting, but a cop who
mistakenly shoots an innocent person is not a bad cop.
