[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They were trying to stop the officer from shooting their violent son.  When you come between an officer trying to neutralize a violent, irrational assailant there is a high likelihood that you are going to get shot, too.

I understand why the parents did what they did but that does not mean that the police officer acted improperly when he shot them.[/quote]

Yes, he did. The WHOLE point of police officers is to protect the public. Not fire wildly into a crowd and put everyone at risk, just because they are scared. We have SO many stories of bad, poorly-trained police officers who clearly don't have the aptitude for this, and end up shooting innocent civilians just because they perceive risk to themselves. I can't express how backwards this is. Police officers are supposed to protect the public, not arm themselves to the teeth and then go around shooting wildly whenever they feel scared.  It's not this guy, but also Philado Castile, Justine Diamond, Botham Jean ... It's seriously sad and shocking how  willing the average american is to countenance that they could just be SHOT because a police officer gets scared.  [/quote]

The fact that the ONLY people shot were the attacker and his accomplices shows that he didn’t “fire wildly into a crowd.”[/quote]

The fact that you continue to call the parents "'accomplices" and neglect the potential harm to other bystanders shows that you're not willing to think seriously. [/quote]

Because of the officer's quick action, no bystanders (including the innocent baby) were harmed.
