Admit what?
And I'm not "assuming" anything. I guess I'm not communicating this correctly.
Here's my thoughts EXACTLY:
1. Cops have been given too much power.
2. When people get too much power...many of them will abuse it.
3. Cops shouldn't be shooting people in situations like this...much less shooting them six times with 2 shots straight in the head.
I don't know how to make it much clearer. I've already said my mom was a deputy sheriff, my grandfather on my mom's side was the chief of police in the town I grew up in, my step-brother is a cop, two of my cousins are cops. I have had a lot buddies who were cops (and worked with me in independent pro-wrestling federations in the Southeastern U.S.)
So no, I don't think cops are "evil". I think they have been given too much power and are able to get away with killing unarmed people.
They should go to jail just like you or I would if we had done the EXACT same thing.
No need to exaggerate my position and get all drama queen-y about it.
