That's the risk one takes when one decides to join in protests/riots. Mistakes happen. Unfortunately, that cop's mistake cost the man his life.

I don’t know if I would call this situation a mistake considering the way the officer murdered him but I do agree with you they all need replaced.

It seems like certain rules don’t apply anymore and it’s sad to watch. Our country is going backwards when it comes to race relations.
