I Dead in Atlanta Police Shooting-Nicholas Watson, 9th

Summary:
   On person was killed in a Atlanta Police shooting on Monday night. It took place shortly before 8 o'clock on Ted Turner Blvd. outside Aloft Hotel. According to WXIA one person was killed, but no officer was injured. The hotel also says that the victim was not any guest or staff of the hotel, but that the incident happened to take place near the hotel.


Analysis:
   Honestly these types of news stories are becoming like an every day deal. I just feel like as long as there are police shootings being intentionally broadcasted in the news, even if it was a justified shooting, I feel like it will continue to generate and create a justification for ill-willed feelings from civilians for Police. To me people are starting to believe more and more that any Police shooting that occurs is always going to be unjustified. Although I don't feel like all Police should be blamed for being given a bad name, but I do see why those few incidents that do happen to be un justified can create these hatred feelings towards the law. I feel like there is no reverse for these feelings, but that the only way Police may contain some type of respect, that they are staying true and upholding the law, is that they make sure that everything they do is to protect the law without using intentional deadly force against people. This relates to history when, for example, the shooting of M. Brown created deep hate for cops, although that particular cop may have been in the wrong, I can see why its is frustrating to other Police that are doing the right things , to get frustrated at these mistakes and actions that are mad by these other, questionable cops. \
