If you in fact reach for an officers gun he has the right to subdue you with the minimum force necessary which in some cases means killing you. However, the relationship between that police department and the community was very bad long before this incident. When there is a history it is unlikely either side is going to take the other at face value.

True. The black community in Shreveport sees crime as a career choice. The police see it as illegal. This creates a lot of friction.

This was a narrative played up in the media that was blown way out of proportion. Ferguson isn't even a bad area, the police were not militarized like they are in some parts of North St. Louis (the warzone).
