We wouldn't know whether they were 'justifiably' killed or not though, because no one kicks up a fuss about it when they are white.
This sounds like I'm one of those 'WHITE LIVES MATTER!!!!!!!!' people but I'm not. I hate those people.
I'm just saying that I don't think its a race thing like people claim it is. If it was, there would be far, far many more POC killed than white people.
Perhaps we do need to look more into who we do employ as a police officer. But again, its a tricky one, we will never know how difficult it is to be an officer. I once watched this and I thought it was pretty interesting.
