Time to let community activists start policing their own communities.

Some people just won’t let facts get in the way of their hatred for cops.
That certainly seemed the case early Friday morning, when a man was shot and killed by a police officer outside a Texas bar.
The manager of H.T.’s Lounge in Texas City had called police to report a man firing a gun at customers as they left the bar.
When an officer arrived, Carlton Smith, 20, pointed his weapon at the cop, who then fired several shots at the man, killing him, police spokesman Cpt. Joe Stanton told the Houston Chronicle.
After more officers arrived on the scene, a crowd almost immediately began to form, with some cursing and throwing bottles at officers, Stanton told the Chronicle.
After reviewing security surveillance video, the bar’s owner, Harris Aldridge, confirmed Smith moved toward the officer with the weapon, according to KENS5 Eyewitness News.[…]
One witness said another woman who was at the scene had fired a gun in the air before the deadly shot.
“The girl had the gun,” the witness told ABC 13. “Why’d they kill him?”
