They may have overreacted, but you wouldn’t attack a lion and then get pissed at it for turning you into mince.
No one is surprised that people get killed when they poke at a lion.
But the animal that reacted that way is still destroyed, because it is unsafe to exist in proximity to humans.
The lesson from your analogy may not be what you intended.
No. They overreacted. No may have. No buts. Police agencies must have greater accountability, not less.
I'm not taking side on this but i'd like to understand your point of view.
