No Protests Over a Police Shooting?

Nothing of national interest, I guess. The Other McCain has the following story: Cop Shoots White Guy Named ‘Kevin’

The Other McCain has a sort of series on the bad decisions made by bad guys.

Watching police bodycam footage has become a hobby for me — a strange choice of entertainment, perhaps, but a way to distract myself from the constant noise of politics.

Can't argue with that. In this case the actions, decisions and the result are not unusual.

Bad guys don’t cooperate with law enforcement, res ipsa loquitur. If you’re a convicted felon driving a stolen car, what are you going to do when a cop shows up and starts asking questions?

The smart thing to do would be to accept the reality — you got caught, and you’re going back to jail. Criminals aren’t really good decision-makers, however, and so the police encounter tends to escalate. First, the criminal lies — “Dindu nuffin” — and then he becomes non-compliant. He resists arrest, attacks the cop or tries to run away.

Kevin died in January of this year. As I said, there were no protests, because it is just another dead white criminal. Nothing to see here.

Click thru for the insanity, and a video of what happened, if you care to watch.
