Thoughts About Charlotte Shooting

It's very unfortunate and tragic to see anybody get murdered, especially if it wasn't justifiable. I find it even more sad that the football player, Ferrell, was only looking for help because he just survived a horrible car crash. Apparently he wasn't unarmed and posed no real threat to the police, but still he was murdered and gunned down 10 times which is absolutely unbelievable. I think it was absurd for the police department to respond to the public by saying it was "fitting" and "appropiate". First of all, Officer Kerrick had no right to discharge his weapon and especially 12 times. Of course people would argue that this result was fueled through racism of some sort. I wouldn't fully agree to that but in a sense it seemed like it was. Ferrell's mom is a very tough woman; she forgived Officer Kerrick even after he shot his son 10 times. I only hope that Kerrick is booted from the police force and receives additional punishment because the murder of Ferrell deserves justice.
