Certainly a better case to be outraged over her than, say, Michael Brown, but they're both absurd things to be outraged over.

I'm not saying I wouldn't have shot her, had I been the officer. I very well may have.

I do think, and have always thought, that there has been too much secrecy around this shooting. Who was the officer? What was his capacity and what were the rules he operated under? Why did he feel that he needed to use lethal force?

Those are simple questions, with simple answers. The people and the family deserve those answers.

They are afraid someone might take a selfie with the officer.
