Police questionable shootings master thread.

This is becoming so common place we need a master thread.

Could use a wiki with links to previous threads

ETA: also, I think the thread should have a different name. Maybe "police: controversial use of force" or something. The current thread would exclude cases where no one was shot (like George Floyd) or cases where the shooting was justified but media (not questionable, yet still controversial) like the case last week in Columbus, Ohio

Is it happening more often now then in past years?

Is it happening more often now then in past years?

Absolutely not. Past years they were just gunned down and we never heard about it. Now with technology we are finding out about what has been going on all the time.

“They were just gunned down” what a terrible thing to say.

No this is for "questionable shootings" not about "controversial use of force". Feel free to start a thread for that.

The Ohio shooting is being questioned by many.

The Ohio shooting is being questioned by many.

Just because it's being questioned does not mean that it's questionable

[CountValentine]

Just because it's being questioned does not mean that it's questionable

So you ruled it a justified shooting without knowing all the facts?
