When this story 1st hit, it elluded to the possibility that he did reach for the wrong weapon. I'm not villifying the officer, nor am I trying to raise any spector or racism or anything for that matter. I'm just saying that this is a fvcked situation and the police officer and the department should admit guilt and move to reconcile the situation in order to avoid anymore divisiveness between them and the public. The public and the police have had a tenuous relationship for over 40yrs in that area.
