There’s a lot to unwrap here. “Over policing minority neighborhoods” do minority neighborhoods have higher crime rates? Burglary, theft, assault, drugs? If so then those neighborhoods require a larger police force. Police involved with torture, rape, and all the other things you mentioned should be thrown in prison. I’ll say it again, don’t generalize all police. If 1% or police are corrupt and 1% of black adult men have been charged with a crime does not mean all police are bad or all black men are bad.

Don’t generalize all police, this is the issue. People say all police are bad or all police are racist and idiots out there believe it. It’s the same as saying all blacks are bad or all blacks are criminals. Idiots out there believe it. People should be judged by their actions not their profession or skin color. This cop was probably one of those idiots I was referring to.

That was hard to follow, no I’m not an apologist but I require all the info before I made a decision. I’m former law enforcement, nobody hates bad cops more than me. I don’t make irrational assumptions based on what the media tells me I need the facts.

What Is sending me this supposed to do? Context is the most important piece of evidence. Was the man pulled over wanted for warrants? Was the vehicle stolen, why was the officer there? Why did the man dive into his vehicle? Why did the officer shoot?

Why did the officer put the breaks on in the van? If it was an accident then randy can sue in civil court. If it was on purpose to hurt Randy the officer should be charged. That all being said, it’s sucks that this happened to a person, if Randy hadn’t been in unlawful possession of a firearm this would have never happened.
