    You’re saying key facts, but there’s no proof at this time that he was aiming a gun at the cops. The article makes that very clear. That has not been established at all. There’s nothing that proves he even had a weapon. That’s a claim the police made. But has not been proven. You should never ever take police statements as fact. Particularly when they so obviously have motive not to be truthful.

      There is body cam footage of the event.

      The family has already reviewed it.

      There’s been no statement that he wasn’t carrying a gun from the family.

        The video was so enraging to the father that he went out and killed another police officer. Seems like a statement to me.

          I mean dude just lost a kid. Right or wrong, people make bad decisions in those situations.

          Revenge doesn’t make an action justified.
