I have not been following this case so I will refrain from commenting on it. However, I will share my thoughts about police and deadly force.

- Police have a hard job. They never know who they are going to roll up on and if they will try to kill them or not. So I do acknowledge the danger of their profession.

- They are human. They make mistakes, lie, destroy evidence, or whatever they have to do to cover their own ass if they need to. The flip side to that coin is they can also sometimes be good and help you when you need them. But there are a lot of bad apples that ruin it for the good ones.

- All police should be equipped with cameras on their body. Preferably two of them in case one malfunctions. If you can militarize a police force and give them the legal authority to take a life, you can put cameras on their person and in their car, looking out AND looking in, with audio.

- Police should be trained, and spend an hour per day training continually if they must, to learn how to do their job without using lethal force. They should all be able to take a normal person (not jacked up on something) down with their hands and restrain them. If you can't do this, you shouldn't be a police officer. Period. Training for this should never stop, so they are great at it and it is second nature. If they are confident they can handle it without their weapon, it just may save lives.

- Pulling their firearm should always, always, always be the very last resort when all else fails and their life is literally in danger. Simply pulling your firearm as a first response because you don't know how to deal with someone with your hands is a cop out and unacceptable. Non-lethal force should always come first, every time, no matter what.

- The bar is set too low to become a police officer. They need to raise it, much higher. They don't need cowboys with guns, they need well trained men who keep their cool, know how to handle themselves at all times, are friendly with the public at all times, and never think of using their gun unless they absolute have to. The days of testosterone driven idiots barking orders at, or assaulting the very people they are paid to serve, need to go.

I've been wrongfully physically abused by the police, and I've seen them lie in court one after another to protect each other, so I know it happens. I can't imagine the lengths they will go to in order to cover up a murder, as corruption runs through every police force and by default they will always protect their own. People shouldn't fear the police, but depending on where you live, or what color you are, you may. That is the first indication that something is massively wrong with the system.
