We're the Only Ones Signing Off Enough

State trooper shoots dead an unarmed deaf mute father who was trying to communicate via sign language after being pulled over for a speeding violation [More]
Most importantly though, yes, the officer made it home at the end of his shift.

Riots, arson and looting to commence in 3...2...1...

"Failure to Grovel" was the offense worthy of execution.

This is why I believe that "Only Ones" should be held to a higher than us mere peed-ons. In any case of application of deadly force, what would constitute a "defense" for non-Only Ones would be an "affirmative defense" for only ones. As the saying goes, with gread power comes great responsibility. Only ones should never be given the benefit of the doubt. After all, they are the ones with all the extra training and the experience. They are the "professionals after all.

And, yes, I know this is about as likely to come about as Hildabest showing up for her inauguration (coronation??) stark naked.

Shame on you for relying on a Daily Mail report that is a virtual reprint from a Shaun King story in the NY Daily News. Next you'll be quoting The National Enquirer.
The article forgot a few details, like the 7.5-mile pursuit, the heavy damage to both vehicles (PIT maneuver that didn't work?), and the dead guy's alleged history of violence against the police in several states. ("Deaf" does not equal "innocent." I once arrested a deaf rapist, and one of his deaf buddies murdered someone.)
Let's see what the investigation reveals before we start pillorying people.
Try a little better next time.
