I believe the lack of due respect for officers of the law is a growing problem today.
I seem to recall plenty of criminals getting killed fighting with police in the past. Now it seems there are more and more shootings involving people who aren't actually any threat but force the authorities to kill them by not following commands. Perhaps something about today's society or media coverage is lessening the respect young people have for the danger present by disobeying cops. Maybe the lack of respect shown by some political officials' comments toward police are adding to the problem. What do you think?
From the article:
"Diaz Zeferino removed his baseball hat and lowered his hands. As he began to raise his hands again, three of the officers opened fire, the district attorney's memo said."
This came after the police clearly told him not to move and even threatened to shoot him if he moved again.
