I think it is important to not immediately demonize or convict someone before knowing anything about him.

No, he is not an untrained “proud boy” who was hired a few months ago. He is former military, a veteran, and chose law enforcement as his career. That is a respectable career path. He is a husband, and a father, and lives locally.

I’m sure we will learn more, but I hoping people leave his wife and kids alone.

So, let me understand where you are coming from... Because he served in the military (something which I have previous said should be a prerequisite for some law enforcement jobs.) This act is somehow less severe than if he was a proud boy type.? Or does his military conditioning give him a mind set where this kind of war time reflex is more likely to result in a meaningless tragedy? I will state up front I dont think he and his buddies should have been there doing that job in the first place..That was how to prevent this happening..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman no. I am saying don’t prejudge him or others because of that - it is independent of the incident. Just as the right should not prejudge the victim, because was a lesbian, liberal, or whatever.

@trollslayer OK. As long as the whole thing gets properly investigated and judged..I have a view that collisions like this were bound to happen, with one side carrying guns and authority and the other side carrying the belief they are actually protected by nothing more than "freedom"..Freedom doesnt stop bullets, clearly..😷
