Ahhh Philando Castile would beg to differ with this opinion ,your last paragraph that is.
I don't understand police work. What i do understand is outcomes. Every time the police arrive for something like a welfare check or a burglar alarm and a citizen ends up dead, the investigation needs to be done by an outside, disinterested but knowledgeable party.
I get it - someone who has drug arrests and flees in a car. But shot to death? Yea, I also get it that high speed chases put lives in danger. I also get it that people don't want to go to jail again for a drug related violation and are going to do what they can to avoid it. Somehow killing them doesn't seem like the right answer.
I'm a strong supporter of the police. I went to a fundraiser today for our police department's citizen's group. But that doesn't mean that I have to blindly accept everything that every officer does. I need a lot more facts on this one. The body cam might help. The absence of the body cam is going to raise my suspicion level another notch.
