Sure, but if you look at the situation: a black kid was gunned down in broad daylight by a police officer, shot at point-blank range and then shot repeatedly while he was trying to escape, without any evidence of danger to the officer or even wrongdoing.

Now you have that same police department rolling in military kit, tear-gassing film crews and assaulting journalists.

I think it's pretty legitimate to be pissed off at the police in this case, but I don't think the police have any justification for their actions.
