I started seeing many different arguments between various people online about the numerous different variables in the case, but in my opinion they’re all missing the crux of the situation that’s upstream.</p> <p>I’m quickly learning that arguing about the justification of most shootings are just a waste of time. Our understanding of justification of a shooting has become such a binary assessment of the situation that people are always going to have varying levels of what they perceive to be a threat. You can show 2 people the same video and they can walk away with two completely different takes. People will often hypothesize scenarios in their head in order justify their view in a series of what ifs, rather than deal about the case at hand. Some people, they know, but they just don’t care. Other’s simply think it’s justifiable to paralyze a man who doesn’t listen to a cop’s instructions. I know a giant stone and a endless hill when I see one.</p>
