Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male

The officer was condescending. This is the crux of the problem nation wide. They presume without evidence that they're dealing with a criminal every time they encounter a civilian. I don't have a better approach because they have to take their own safety into account first but there's got to be a better way and because they approach each citizen as a criminal, it places the civilian on edge and if the civilian is on edge and ingrained to be less than cooperative, then the situation has the potential to become volatile. it's then the officers duty to de escalate a given situation, which they far too often fail to do, in fact often times escalate a situation by being a dick.  

 Im speculating but I'd bet he was profiling too. 

Let's begin with in no way should a campus police officer be concerned with a missing front license plate.
