"'I’m worried about how these sentences are being dished out,' one lawyer responded from the bar. 'In a difficult and complicated national crisis like this one, and in the aftermath of the mass panic that was the night of June 29, we’re getting a procedural meting-out of justice, rather than a debate.'”

"Across the United States, the police fatally shoot more than 1,000 people every year, representing nearly 5 percent of all homicides—a higher death toll than from mass shootings. Some of these cases make national news, but most don’t. Even less attention is paid to the families left behind: thousands of people, disproportionately Black, Indigenous, and Latino, who must navigate not only their grief, but the stress of protests and the press, not to mention agonizing questions of how to seek accountability from the officers who killed their loved ones."

"The MPD used excessive, and at times, deadly force. The investigation found that the MPD had discharged firearms without assessing if a person presented a threat. They highlighted previous high-profile cases of fatal police shootings, including Jamar Clark, Justine Ruszczyk, Thurman Blevins, Chiasher Vue, and Amir Locke. They also noted the repeated use of the style of neck restraint that Chauvin used to kill Floyd. 'Until 2020, MPD did not consider neck restraints to be deadly force, instead classifying them as ‘less-lethal’ force,' the report states."

“'His paid vacation is over. But we are not satisfied, we will not rest until he is terminated and never allowed to be a law enforcement officer again anywhere in this nation,' the attorney said. 'As far as due process, Aderrien Murry would have appreciated due process because he was almost executed by Greg Capers. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.'"

This is kind of infuriating framing by the Seattle Times. No one knows who that this man while he was surrounded by police? My guess is it's the police, because if it wasn't them they would have said that.

So it sounds like a man blocked traffic, maybe had a gun, and police shot him. Also, it sounds like they ran out of ideas and shot him because that was all that was left in the playbook to "get him out of traffic".
