You're missing the point. The question here is not my experience or your experience, though my wife's experience teaching in City University of New York carried some of these experiences. That's an interesting and, mayhap, even important question to discuss. But in the context of the police killing an unarmed black male, coupled with the number of these killings, that is the question. I've seen no serious justification for a trained police officer to shoot, let alone, kill Michael Brown, or the Staten Islander who died from a choke hold, or on and on.

Police officers should be trained to handle these situations without resort to deadly force. And when they do resort to deadly force, there should be serious structures of accountability in place that both investigate the incident and assure the community that it is being done. Neither is the case here.
