You imply that all police shootings amount to extrajudicial murder or killing by the state. That is not the case. If someone breaks into your home and threatens your safety, you shooting them wouldn’t be extrajudicial, or any other kind of murder, it would be justified self defense. Same thing when someone attacks a cop. It is justified use of lethal force. All cultures in this country value life. A black family mourns the death of a loved one just as any other family would. Culture comes into play when dealing how different groups react to a given situation. Studies have proven that those from the black culture are by far more likely to be physically combative or to flee when confronted by the police than other cultures. Again, it isn’t skin color that explains police brutality, it’s behavior. Don’t give the cops a reason to be looking for you, and if you do find yourself confronted with the police, act in a civil and cooperative manner and the odds of having the police use force of any kind is practically nonexistent.
