Let's be clear. IF the facts support the police's version of events...IF video and other testimony corroborates...THEN:
No, it isn't a "twisted view" remarking on the justice that a thug is in the grass. That's called "karma" or "golden rule in-action."
I'm aware of handgun training available to police in WA State, and will assume similar or same is applied in Missouri. I've taken plenty of it, though God forbid I ever need it. That being: how to assess, draw, and shoot down lethal threats rapidly and efficiently. In other words, how to win a gunfight: a Pyrrhic Victory, to be sure, but better to be on the winning side.
Mistakes are sometimes made in otherwise lawful shootings, which is tragic. When it's not tragic, however, it's just business. No, it isn't amusing (OP's rather cold comment), it's what needs to happen when faced with deadly force. As in, "every single time."
While perhaps not as "amused" as the person being quoted, the vast bulk of law-abiding citizens I suspect have little sympathy, or any desire whatsoever for further to-do, about a gang-STAH being lawfully subdued using lethal force by law enforcement. End of story.
Freaks and weirdos can protest all they want, though we are approaching the point of insurrection, IMO, being ginned-up by the media and cowardly politicians. I personally suspect a national seismic shift is brewing, a legal backlash against the lies and morons peddling "social justice," "national conversations about race," and other horse(manure).
