I am a huge supporter of law enforcement but when I watched this video I have to say they acted with too much haste. The truck never came close to running the road block. He swerved off into the embankment. So stop with all the "he was trying to run over them and they didn't have time to react" BS. Secondly, they immediately open fire on him inside the truck. That isn't justifiable in any manner. He was not brandishing a weapon at that time.

To be clear, I have several friends that are cops and I am a huge supporter of the BS they go through 99% of the time. But in this instance, they were simply wrong in what they did and it cost the guy his life. Yes, he had a lot to do with being in the situation, but any reasonable person can watch the video and come to the conclusion that it was not justifiable.
