Here is the thing to realize. That “1%” that is unjustified, those are the cases that are so outrageous, so over the top, that despite the best efforts of the fellow cops, they are unable to stretch out of any rational standard, the law to make it “justified”. An example. John Geer. The local prosecutor was denied documents from the police because the investigation was ongoing. The State’s Attorney was denied documents because the investigation was ongoing. The US Attorney was denied documents and access to witnesses because the investigation was ongoing. Yes, the Federal Prosecutors could not contemplate bringing any charges because the Police Department swore they were investigating for two years.
Finally the Family filed a lawsuit, and through discovery, the Judge ordered that the Police present all documents, and witnesses for deposition, for the suit. The Family had to gather the evidence, and give it to the Prosecutors. Seriously. Then the cop was fired, after two years of stonewalling. Charged with murder, finally, and pled guilty.
Look at the case in Dallas, where the cop entered the wrong apartment, and shot a man. Three days before any charges. Three days. If you or I had walked into the wrong house and shot someone, we would have been charged in less than three hours and in custody. Even now, they’re doing all that they can to make it seem like the victim was really the one at fault.
The one percent are the most egregious. That doesn’t mean the other 99% are good shootings. Hardly, it just means that they were able to stretch the “justified” blanket enough to cover the cops.
Not to mention, the people kneeling aren't doing so just for police shootings, it is about the entire issue with the criminal justice system.
Oh, no kidding. Nobody is safe from it.

Yeah these guys fucked up...
