I think you mean 10yards or 30feet in 3sec, right?Why? He's absolutely correct. The NUMBER one rule ALL law enforcement agencies teach is NEVER EVER EVER let a suspect get your weapon.
Okay, when the fatal shot was fired, he was 60 feet away from Wilson with his hands up yelling "I don't have a gun."
Standard rule of thumb in training is that the average person can travel 10 feet in 3 seconds.
That means if he was 80 feet away , Wilson's training says he could reach him in 24 seconds. That's how fast you have to make a decision.
I'm sorry that you don't like the the outcome, but police are trained to react the same in EVERY situation. That kid would have been just as dead if he was white.
PERIOD.
yes, sorry
