Since the Police Chief has condemned their actions, I don’t think there is any need to debate whether those officers were justified. We can’t know all that happened. However, according to their superiors, the actions were not justified.

That’s nice.

Unfortunately condemning, apologizing, putting on administrative leave, and even firing aren’t enough. LEOs who illegally shoot black men need to be prosecuted. Only when we start seeing a consistent string of convictions will the culture slowly start to change in some of these PDs.
