After arriving at the Murry family home, police instructed everyone inside to come out with their hands up. Nakala Murry says that’s when Aderrien emerged from around a corner, running toward the door. Capers then opened fire.

    I don’t think so, my understanding of it is that even if one individual cop is a ‘good one’ they still work for a broken system and help in some form whatever insanity has led to the people who are meant to protect and serve, instead, routinely shooting unarmed civilians. In the case of this article - a child.

    I don’t think it helps to think of cops as individuals when it’s the collective that’s broken. So in this case the simplification is kind of the point.
