Bad police shooting

I’m appalled by the brazen murder of a surrendering robbery suspect by Miami Beach police, but even more so by the Miami Herald’s toeing the line of defaming the suspect, rather than even trying to explain the need to end this man’s life.

Razor blade as a threat to life? While hands on a car? Or trigger-happy policeman?

Thank goodness for YouTube.

But where is the rage?
