When are Reverend Coleman and his sidekicks going to stop blaming the police and start blaming the thugs that ignore orders to stop and who try to ram law enforcement officers with vehicles?
When a cop tells you to stop, show your hands, or do any lawful act, a minimally intelligent person will obey to the best of their ability. If a man in blue stops my car at night, I'll turn my dome light on and keep my hands on the steering wheel or dash. I'm not going to create any doubt in the officer's mind that I am not a risk to him or her. These punks ought to do the same.
Granted, police are restricted in the steps they may take but actions can be misinterpreted. Do as you're told and no one gets hurt. It's really that simple. It's got nothing to do with race. Officers wants to go home to their families at the end of their shifts and I can't blame them.
I wish the Louisville media would stop giving so much air time and print to this self-appointed police critic. This guy is a bigot himself and his frequent promotion serves only to promote racial strife.

I totally agree with you. They say that the police didn't need to use their weapons, but I say, unless you are IN the situation, there is no way that a person can say if force or weapons were needed. Let Reverand Coleman work on the police force for a couple months and see how he would handle such a situation.
Let the police do their jobs!!!!!!!
