Officials have released body camera video that reveals a chaotic scene in which a Black woman in Springfield, Illinois, who called 911 for help was shot in the face in her home by a white sheriff’s deputy.
So I never really got into the Watchmen show that aired for a season on Amazon. Bear with me; I’m going somewhere with this…
If anyone remembers that show, there are two scenes that always stuck with me. One was of course the Tulsa massacre. I had never heard of it and it was just chilling to me. That’s a whole other discussion, but it’s not the scene that directly applies here.
The other scene is (IIRC) literally the first scene of the show, where the cop is at a traffic stop, he gets the persons information and goes back to his car to run it. It comes out that there’s something sketchy about the guy (I don’t remember what), and he has to call in to a civilian observer explaining the situation and asking them to unlock his gun if they decide that it’s warranted…
Anyway, that idea (regardless of how feasible it may or may not be in reality) has been literally burned into my brain from two minutes of a show that I remember literally nothing else about.
