Title: Palm Beach Gardens White officer shoots and kills Black Boynton man

Here we go again. I saw this story on CBS this morning. And I wasn't shocked it's a lot like mass killings from time to time. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/palm-beach/fl-palm-beach-gardens-officer-shooting-20151019-story.html

Personally i don't give a shit what race they are, I will not take sides until the facts come out, however from the sounds of it the cop may very well be to blame.

If the cop just rolled up without turning is lights on I could see how this guy thought he might be getting mugged or something.

Plus - according to the article, he rolled up in an unmarked car not wearing any kind of uniform and wanted to "inspect" the car. Is it that hard for the officer to understand that this is something that may frighten others and make them assume they are about to be mugged or attacked ?
