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.

This is my opinion.

1) If you serve with an army of thugs, you’re going to be thought of as a thug. This should be a surprise to no one.

2) While I too hate that families are dragged into these matters, that’s how it goes. He apparently gave no thought to his family before he shot.

3) He gave no indication of considering that his murder victim might be more than an annoying mosquito. She was also a mother. To me there are very few instances when shooting someone in the back is justified and this isn’t one of them.

4) Do we forgive those who hitch their wagon to a dark star? Not usually.

@Diotrephes Maybe she was looking back to see if he was going to use the gun, because she was clearly driving away.
