Highlighted Comments
He was stabbing his roommate when they shot him. They cleared saved his roommate's life. As an Indian, we really can't blame the cop or claim as a victim in this scenario.
This is dangerous. Racism against Indians is rising in the West. Police shot dead a software professional. Shame on US police.
This matter has to be thoroughly investigated. The family should not let go of this.
