16 times,that all? Hell everybody knows you have to shoot a thug at least 16 times or more. Of course if you shoot more than 16 times they make you pay for your own ammunition.

Fear....the cop was fearful because he was African American.....the young male carried a knife because he was fearful. As long as we are fearful of each other this will go on and on. I see no end in sight. BTW. It was the proper sentencing.
