I think many people believe the police should never shoot first because risking death is their job. I don't.

This excellent and insightful analysis was well worth the wait. Members of the media (armchair media included) should feel compelled to understand “perception-reaction time” before reporting on cop-involved shootings. It can completely change one's first impressions (or the popular narrative). Also, I really appreciate that you don't take a side in this, but lay it out for readers to consider further because it's a very tough situation, indeed.
