9/26/2016 foxnews.com: Jesse Jackson: Must be 'consequences' for police shootings

If the shootings are not justified, I agree. Unfortunately, many in the general populas and political activists are demanding consequences for any police shooting, regardless of whether the shooting was justified or not.

Case in point. El Cajon, Ca.; 9/29/2016 nbcnews.com: Man Fatally Shot by California Cop Had Vape Smoking Device: Police

If as reported:
        the victim refused multiple instructions by the first officer on the scene and concealed his hand in his pants pocket;
        the victim rapidly drew an object from his front pants pocket, placed both hands together on it and extended it rapidly toward the officer, taking what appeared to be a
            shooting stance;
        the still to the left, taken from a witness video, is an accurate depiction of the event;
then the shooting was justified even though the victim was unarmed. Very much a tragedy, but justified. If an officer has to ask; "Uh, what is that in your hand" he or a bystander is likely as not to end up dead.

And yet; 10/2/2016 rueters.com: El Cajon, California, sees fifth day of protests over police shooting.

No question, there have been unjustified police shootings for which officers and officials should face consequences. But simply because a victim was unarmed, or of a particular color or race, does not does not make for a bad shooting.
