As opposed to pointing fingers at each other in regards to our upbringing, let's stick to the facts of this case in particular.
I'm not an officer, nor do I pretend to be. I don't know how difficult it is to be an officer working in the neighborhoods where gunshots have the tendency to be consistent. I do however trust that the officers in our community, regardless of upbringing and regardless of patrol area, have been through the training necessary to do their jobs efficiently. Just as we trust doctors to protect us with both major and minor situations, we are to trust our law enforcement with the same expectations as well.
Death was never the intentional motive of Lt. Reeves. I highly doubt...actually, I KNOW, that Lt. Reeves is deeply hurt by the death of this young man. It is most certainly unfortunate that there was a fatality, but let's remind ourselves, and others, to examine all the facts before conjuring up a conclusion ourself.
Chattanooga: 1 shooting, 2 accounts
