without getting too deep into the whole thing - I think we are seeing the turn about and escalation of the right to defend yourself.. for the police, it's their job and for far too long they were dying while trying not to upset people - I think they are finally stepping up and not allowing a situation to endanger them. So now "everyone" is all upset because civilians are dying.. here's a clue, stay out of X hairs.. if you're hanging out in an area known for trouble, you're carrying, and for some reason you do something that garners the attention of the police and then you're stupid enough to "fight" them - (clue - you shouldn't even be annoyed!!) - you might end up dead. Are the police over reacting at times? Yep. But, under reacting can get you killed so... BLM... um, excuse me - ALL LM... Christ... ok, rant over.
