Intelligent, reasoning people will look at each case in its own light, in its own merit, and make judgments based on those applicable facts.

Bingo!!! These people will also wait until they know "The rest of the story" rather than believing the narrative being put forth by the media on a given incident.

As for this incident what more could be added? It appears to be getting the attention it deserves at this point.

I think that the cop apologists probably think you are an idiot for labeling them that way. You seem to be treating this as all cops are bad, and never have justification for what they do. But, the reality is, sometimes when a cop shoots someone, the cop is bad. Sometimes when the cop shoots someone, it's justified. It's pretty scary the way you view the world. In the above cases, there's probably no justification for what the officers did. That's why your supposed "cop apologists" haven't said anything. Apparently, they tend to look at the facts a little more than you do.

I wouldn't say that. There are people that fall on both sides of the spectrum. For every person like him claiming all cops are bad, there are people saying every move every cop makes is justified. Then there are the reasonable people in between that get drowned out by the shouting match.

I am not sure the poster you was the former, or not. Perhaps he was just trying to indicate it's a systemic problem?
