"It was a freak accident - she was in a wrong place at the wrong time," Bankston said. The shooter, she said, "had a dispute with someone on the street and he opened fire. She was an innocent girl caught in the cross fire. It's a sad case, just a sad case."

Here's a solution: Don't shoot at the cops and don't run. I'm not saying the cops are right (many times they are wrong) but if you shoot at people you should expect to be shot at.

Well, I don't know about my grammar, however, my intellectual reasoning is sound. In my opinion, you seem a little too zealous and vitriolic in your fervor to indite every police officer as 'evil'. I will wholeheartedly agree, American cops are heading down the slippery slope to fascism.
Furthermore, the officers in this video failed to secure a potentially dangerous suspect and they failed to render aid after the fact. That said, they took the self-righteous indignation of the crowd on the chin. This wouldn't happen in Mexico or some African dictatorship. In those places, the 'people' would be shot dead for even questioning the authority of the police.
You seem to have a problem with any authority. I have no problem with a justice and honest police department regulated by the citizens of the United States of America. I would reason that you would have a problem even with that sort of police department. What you suggest is anarchism and is a futile and nonsensical pursuit.

Police officers are citizens charged with protecting their communities. Jesus, it's like that episode of South Park, "what you're suggesting is called a town." (Stan Marsh) "NO. no. Little man you just don't see the big picture." (Dirty Hippie Douche)
Wow, your statements are nonsense and leftist rhetoric. I concede that we will never agree and it is futile to try to reason with you. You win, you get the prize!

SF police recover gun after police shooting
(07-17) 17:44 PDT San Francisco, CA (AP) --
The gun, which was not found immediately after the 5 p.m. shooting in the city's Bayview District, was believed to have been taken from the ground as officers tended to the suspect, said police Sgt. Michael Andraychak.
Tended to the suspect is a complete lie....!

I find it sad that the cops just stand around with their guns pointed instead of helping the guy.
They waited 1:39 seconds into the video before somebody got close.
And for those that want to say they feared he had a gun, why did the cop and the cop with the assault weapon in front of the camera have their back to the suspect?
