I'm watching Hard Knocks. Sean McVay is watching the video of Jacob being shot.
He's flabbergasted and proclaims "WTF are people thinking?! How can he shoot that guy for just walking away?!"
My initial reaction to his reaction is "WTF are YOU thinking?".
That being said, I reserve the right to be wrong. Maybe my perceptions need calibration.
So, I'd love to hear opposing viewpoints. But with a caveat.
Here's my issue. They were called because his baby momma called the police and said he showed up, uninvited and took her car keys away.
He would not give them back and was combative as best I understand. The police arrive and he was detained. That means lawfully, he cannot leave.
He resisted, was tased (to no effect) and then walked to his driver's door, with what APPEARs to be a knife in his hand. But I will admit, it's tough to tell from the video.
He walks towards his car and opens the door where he is obviously shot. My argument would be that he could easily have a gun or weapon in the vehicle and could then be capable of killing or hurting anyone in the area.
So....what am I missing? Because I truly don't understand, but I AM trying to see the opposing viewpoint.
