It seems like now everything we hear on the evening news is about a shooting. Whether it's an officer getting shot or firing his gun, unnecessary violence must stop. Officials in big cities, and sometimes even small ones, are becoming a little too power-hungry. They no longer care who they shoot simply because they themselves are officers and, in the words of many people, are above the law. Too many people are killed for illegal reasons by officers and do not receive the justification they deserve. On December 9, 2013, a San Antonio police officer shot a student on campus after a sarcastic remark at a traffic stop. “Oh, are you going to shoot me?” That's exactly what the officer did. A dash cam video showed what appeared to prove the officer had valid reason for shooting the man, but when the audio was released alongside the video the angle really became visible. In the video, the man is seen getting out of the car as the officer told him to do, but when the officer tells the man to get his license and he goes into the car to get it, he is shot. The officer is heard telling the man to "put your hands up and get out of the car." When the man was shot he had his hands raised, with his wallet in his hand. While the officer had the right to defend himself from a potential threat, there was absolutely no need to shoot the man. Thankfully the man was not killed in the shooting, but the man's attorney said his client was not handcuffed until an officer remembered he didn't have handcuffs and went to the hospital to retrieve them. In Texas, an officer with a body camera was on guard duty where there were potentially dangerous dogs. According to the police department the dog became aggressive as the officer attempted to get it to safety, the dog was shot when it charged at the officer. Seems reasonable, yes, but according to the family the dog was not aggressive at all and when he approached the officer he was wagging his tail and generally happy. On the officer's camera, you can hear the dog whistle and see him approach before shooting
