Passenger Black Unarmed Killing Oakland
After watching the video I think there is a case here. The young man was not doing anything to warrant the use of deadly force. The fact that this officer quit rather than answer questions makes it look bad on his part. While I was not there and do not know what was said or done at the time of the shooting I do hope that justice is served and the one in the wrong is punished.
