Police killings result from an institution that promotes violence. These killings are justified by media and shielded from scrutiny. From contributor Zach Jones.
The title is "MNPD Escalates Situations to Violence with Shoot-First Mentality" but the main subject of the article is the interaction between Officer Baker and Ms. Holbert, in which Officer Baker did NOT shoot first.
"He ran the tags on the vehicle Holbert was driving and found that the owner of the vehicle, Demond Buchanan, had warrants out for his arrest." With this information alone it makes sense to me that the car would be searched and that Ms. Holbert would certainly not be allowed to drive the vehicle away. I want the police officers of my city searching for people who have warrants out. I disagree with the framing that Officer Baker inappropriately escalated the situation. If anything, I think he showed restraint by using his taser first. I do not think this case is a good example for your argument.
