These are the words of Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson.
I want you to read them carefully.
The police chief in the Dallas suburb of Arlington says an officer who’s been fired over the fatal shooting of an unarmed Texas college football player should not have approached the 19-year-old burglary suspect alone.
Arlington Police Chief Will Johnson on Tuesday said he had fired officer Brad Miller over the shooting of Christian Taylor. Johnson says he’s troubled by some of the actions Miller took while responding to a reported burglary at a car dealership early Friday morning.
Johnson said Miller shot Taylor when Taylor began to advance toward the officer. But he said there was no physical contact between the officer and Taylor before Taylor was shot.
We know Taylor was acting erratically in the dealership, no one knows why, but committing a criminal act is no justification for murder.
Taylor had no weapon and there was NO ALTERCATION. The police chief said that he simply walked towards the officer in training who shot him multiple times.  When cops see a black man it doesn’t matter if he is unarmed they see him as a threat and will shoot first.
Sadly, there is no videotape of the shooting or Miller probably is already charged with murder, we can only hope the DA does the right thing.
