Um... the man was shot and he wasn't armed or threating.  Its not okay for a police officer to shoot you.  The man was a therapist/caretaker and he is patient was autistic and sitting on the ground.  Whats worse is that the cop is saying that he meant to shoot the autistic boy but missed... which is all sorts of fucked up.  Namely because why would you shoot someone sitting on the ground and two, why would you miss him and instead hit someone laying on the ground next to him? 

What trun of events or investigation is going to make this okay?

Maybe because only after full investigation we'll know what happened and not only a short version of it? But if you preffer to be judge and condemn without due process it's on you.

Do you really need a juge or investigation to tell you that unarmed people laying on the ground should not be shot at?

I don't know who you are, but if you, Don, are laying on the ground, and a cop shoots you, thats not okay with me no matter what.  No charges were filed against either individual.  I know you want they to be seen as thugs for being black lol /jk... unless thats how you feel then screw you lol.  But seriously cops are not public executioners.  They are public servants and that means protecting people like that kid who have autism and his caretaker. 

Basically, I am saying that of course we want in investigation, but we need to at least be able to reconize that unarmed people sitting/laying on the ground should not be shot at by cops.  The first thing that pops into my head is what would have happened to that autistic boy if his caretaker wasn't there? I think the caretaker was very brave doing what he did (actually taking a bullet for his patient).  Obviously the cop didn't have the proper training.  If you don't feel at least a little sick when the cop said he was aiming for the autistic boy... check you pulse, you may be dead.
