The problem with gun violence here is multi-faceted. But in regard to officer involved shootings, I think a good deal of it goes back to this mindset.
It's also why the narrative of a "good guy with a gun" is so wrong. The police do not know who the bad guy is when they get there. Why they chose to shoot this guy is unknown right now...but it just goes to show how more guns didn't save this guy who did everything right.
Although I'm pretty sure it will be that he didn't follow the officers commands quickly enough or something.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
