I do hope this makes it to trial. Poor John Crawford was murdered for being comfortable in this racist society. Yes, it was a dumb thing to do, but he never posed a threat...he was walking around with an off the shelf toy gun....talking on his cell phone. The Officers NEVER cleared and secured the scene...just shot him down...then asked questions.
