WARNING - Someone being shot.

I'm not sure what provoked this, but did this guy deserve to die? He appeared restrained in a submissive posture by two officers, one near his neck.

I have white, middle class homemaker friends that go "Oh, it looks like the cop meant to taser him."

Which only infuriated me more. If you are on your belly face down, you don't need to be tasered EITHER.

Sigh. It IS funny to me how this gets covered, but the riots in Augusta did not. The GBI has said it will NOT release the tapes of the shooting of J. Elmore in Augusta. I've heard now they are saying they 'lost' them. yadda yadda yadda.

The police could turn all this around right now. If they don't - I think - if they continue down this us against them path - you will see this a lot more often.
