Police Killing Of Rayshard Brooks (Hover)
What is going on is the difference between the law and the enforcement of the law. There is a grey area about how far is too far for cops to go in order to catch criminals. Killing someone because they took $20 is not justified. Same way I can't defend myself and use unnecessary force to kill someone when all they did was tap me on the shoulder.
