I agree with that. Perhaps this is one of those "extreme things". But current interpretations of this event are politically extreme and harmfully polarizing to us as a people. So all the more reason to be cautious and circumspect.

Please remain calm.

My viewpoint is neither "a mad, mad take" nor "literal prejudice". nor "an opinion based on basically nothing". My viewpoint is a statement of our individual ignorance, of our lack of complete information, and a claim that none of us are omniscient. And it is a request that we be patient and trust our juridical system to proceed the way it was intended.

Although difficult, We must withhold judgement until all [evidence has been presented.**

It's wild that America is having a political 'debate' about this. We've all seen the videos. The woman was murdered in cold blood. In any sane society everyone would be united in condemning this officer's actions.
