From the Tampa Bay Times:
LAKELAND — For more than a week, details in the case of a Lakeland city commissioner who fatally shot an alleged shoplifter came mainly from police accounts.
Then, on Monday, Lakeland police released surveillance video that gives the public an up-close view of the shooting. It’s a crucial piece of evidence that investigators are using to decide whether City Commissioner Michael Dunn, 47, should face charges in the Oct. 3 killing of Christobal Lopez, 50.
Two attorneys who reviewed the video at the request of the Tampa Bay Times said it seems to contradict the idea that Dunn was in fear for his life when he fired.
Inevitably, conservatives turn up after reports or videos like this to defiantly and gleefully defend the killing. Just take a look at the comments on that video. One must wonder where they draw the line between offenses that merit immediate execution and offenses that do not.
