I have to admit that I'm pretty confused right now in a lot of ways. And I wasn't confused about any of this at all until the white 17 yo kid marched up there with the AR and the cops up there did nothing to stop this kid.
The police shooting was one thing and that certainly looked bad, but he could have had a weapon. Excessive? Yes, absolutely. Not much else to say here. Officers should probably be suspended or even fired, but not charged. I don't know.
But why in the hell was that 17 yo kid not disarmed by police? It's incredibly confusing and raises a lot of questions and concerns for folks that sort of sit in the middle on these issues.
