There was more than drugs and guns. This suspect rammed his car--a deadly weapon--into the police. That makes the shooting self defense. 

The article brings up the Michael Brown shooting. Yet, they don't seem to admit that the FBI investigation confirmed that Brown was beating a white cop, in the police car, when he was shot in the officers self-defense. All of this took place AFTER Brown had committed a strong arm robbery. 

Not particularly good role models for the African American community to get in front of. The ad naseum repeating of the stories that these were just poor black men targeted by the police is such a false narrative that you, and the others like you, should be ashamed. 

Live in the light of the truth.
