Before the Final Frame: When Police Missteps Create Danger - GMDino - 10-31-2021 Interesting look at some of these types of incidents. We so often say on this board to wait until we see all the video/evidence. Looking back like this, I think, helps.

We need to reconsider whether the public is really protected by refusal to consider the totality of circumstances. |
