What has been happening in our society lately is devastating. It is now common to turn on our televisions and hear about new cases of abuse towards African Americans by the police.

I laud the fact that he tackled a different angle to the black American killings story: the cop’s side of the story. He however overpromises but does not deliver. I imagine that every reader out there would be more interested to learn of the cop’s side of the story before the shooting. What drove him to that? Was it preex...
