    O/T What would you do?

    If anyone ever wonders why the black communities in the US mistrust white police officers then just watch this.

    Why couldn't he just do what any normal human being would do in such a situation, cover up and retreat. No, let's shoot the old lady in the head!

    CAM, I saw this a couple of days ago. Okay she was mumbling about "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus." That's bound to cause an effect/concern to the cop but, the distance between him and the lady was too far for her to attempt to pour anything on him.

    He had other options like retreating a further distance, IF he felt he had to, he could have shot her in the leg to disable her movement, or any other number of things to not go as far as to shoot her dead. He deserves to be charged with murder because that what is was.

    What would I do?

    Grab popcorn and wait for the legions of Twitter trolls to arrive with all sorts of massively flawed logic, statistics they either don't understand or purposely misrepresent, and pictures of some unrelated incident 17 years ago.

    They're usually keen to defend the cops/assassinate the victim's character long before finding out the facts.

    I prefer toffee, but will settle for sweet.

    They'll bring all the salt you'll ever need.

    Plus, salted popcorn... enough to turn my stomach!
