If you cared, you'd know about the Mother's Day Walk for Peace, but you don't care and were just trying to score some cheap, meaningless points. Congratulations.

Well
The police chief and the officer resigned, the latter has charges brought against her. What justice is missing so far?
Did you miss the part where
Did you miss the part where people keep getting murdered by the police? Justice would be for that to stop happening.
Not every black person is a criminal
Majority of the black people that live in the hood are outstanding citizens just like you. It’s a few bad ones just like how the police say they have a few bad ones. If you don’t know one, you’re part of the problem. America is the greatest nation and in 2021, we’re still dealing with race issues. It’s straight up SAD.
Perhaps less "justice" of a certain kind is in order
There is a rough justice meted out when you look at a person and your triggers signal that they're dangerous -- even though unarmed -- and therefore deadly force is acceptable. The goal is not so much to send police to prison for killing unarmed Black people, as it is for police to stop killing them.
Not defending the cop but don
Not defending the cop but don’t think she intended to use deadly force. If anything she got scared and confused her taser with her gun. Incompetent and rightfully charged with involuntary manslaughter but not intentional in the use of deadly force.

Why the hell was she looking to tase someone during a minor traffic stop?
Because they found out he had

What's your understanding on use of force, then?
OK, he had an outstanding warrant - but, to my limited understanding, use of force is supposed to be governed by the current situation, not by something alleged to have happened in the past. Am I wrong?
If a 27 year veteran of the
If a 27 year veteran of the force can't tell the difference between a taser and a glock, then maybe cops shouldn't have guns.
Even Pat Robertson...
... was mystified as to how one could make such a mistake:

"I'm just a simple caveman"
"And not familiar with your fancy modern guns and tasers. I became scared. Frightened even!"
C'mon, man. She trains other cops.
It wasnt too long ago that
It wasnt too long ago that those 3 things wouldn’t have happened. Long road ahead for real justice.
