Some North Carolina residents are grilling officials after police in Charlotte released bodycam video showing an officer opening fire and fatally wounding an armed man.
To be fair, there have been numerous police shootings in the metropolitan area of 2.6 million people, but the shootings of Jonathan Ferrell, Keith Lamont Scott and Franklin all stoked a special level of doubt and suspicion among Charlotteans. At a vigil for Franklin on Monday night, a protester held up a sign bearing names of seven men killed by police since 2013, including Franklin, Ferrell and Scott.
Kerl may have trouble proving her actions were justified under the circumstances, but police officers are taught that action is faster than reaction, and"a millisecond can mean the difference between your own avoidance of being shot," Gagliano said."Officer could argue she felt his movements were threatening, but I'd argue she should've been behind cover and not joined a chorus of commands shouted at the man," he said.
