Defending Killer Cops

The shooting looked bad. But that is when the professor is at his best. A black motorist, pulled to the side of the road for a turn-signal violation, had stuffed his hand into his pocket. The white officer yelled for him to take it out. When the driver started to comply, the officer shot him dead.

The driver was unarmed.


Taking the stand at a public inquest, William J. Lewinski, the psychology professor, explained that the officer had no choice but to act.


“In simple terms,” the district attorney in Portland, Ore., asked, “if I see the gun, I’m dead?”


“In simple terms, that’s it,” Dr. Lewinski replied.

Not only is this stupid beyond belief, one has to ask why police are pulling us over for "turn-signal violations" in the first place:

  • How many times has such a violation resulted in an accident?
  • How many times has it resulted in death by cop?
  • Does the public safety really justify a policy of "shoot to kill"?

This professor should be stripped of his tenure.
