RIP to matt and condolences to his family.... definetely more facts needed

his brother said it was 5-6 shots then few days later recants and says he was confused and it was maybe 2 at most.

SO pretty much he admits he was embelishing and we cant trust anything he says...........which is understandable, his brother died

None of you were there. There's 2 sides to every story. One story says there was no scuffle while the other says there was. If he was shot because he fought the officers, then he deserved what he got. We don't know what was said between them. The point is... until further investigation is done, it's ignorant to blame the cops and assume the deceased is innocent. A loss of life is tragic in any case and my heart goes out to his family/friends. However, let's not be so quick to shame the police. Thats the cowardly way to go about it. The police force does plenty of positive things a day, saving lives and what not.... and yet when one negative incident happens you people are quick to blast them all. The reality of the situation is that the facts are unknown at this point in time. If I was a cop and someone reached for a weapon, especially after a scuffle, I'd shoot too. At the end of the day I'm going to do what it takes to make sure I go home to my family.

Out here, in Iraq... if you reach for a weapon or get in any kind of physical altercation with me/us at a checkpoint, you're getting shot. A threat on my life in Iraq is the same as a threat on my life anywhere.

If after a full investigation is complete and the cop is found guilty, then I hope he gets the full penalty for his crime. However, I will not hate all cops because of this. Every career field has a few bad apples and its not right to judge everyone for the wrongs of a few.
