Let us all hope that everyone allows for a full investigation. Here it is, it is long, amazing how quickly it escalated. For me it will boil down to this, was deadly force necessary? My initial opinion, and strictly an opinion, is it wasn’t. Of course, this does show the importance of compliance. Mr. Brooks is alive today if he complies
How did that escalate? The cops evaluated his condition, he seemed agreeable and cooperative. Until he wasn’t. And that is the problem. Had they just let him run away he could have been located and detained later, but his condition was such that he could have endangered someone. Very troubling on all fronts.
