This protest in St. Louis and this riot in Georgia are challenging law enforcement.
A judge in St. Louis decided that this officer, Jason Stockley, is not guilty of murdering
a black man following a high-speed chase.
Officer Stockley claims the driver, Anthony Smith, was reaching for a gun.
And in Georgia, a campus police officer shot and killed this Georgia tech student.
Both officers say they were acting in self-defense, but these two incidents have people wondering
if police use too much force.
"Our training has to cover those areas of when someone is presenting a deadly threat,
either to us or to another individual."
"We don't train specifically to kill someone, we train to stop whatever their actions are."
Sometimes stopping those actions take lives, and sometimes they save lives.
"With one shot, he took my attacker's life and saved mine."
A man attacked Lasley and her sister in their home two years ago.
Bre, Kayli, and their attacker were in this basement when Bre told Kali to go get help.
"I just wanted her out of the basement so she didn't see me being brutally murdered."
Kali ran upstairs and outside.
That's when off duty officer Ben Holme heard her screaming two blocks away.
"We're laying down.
He wraps his legs around my legs, his arm around my body and has his knife at my throat.
That's when I saw two black shoes coming down my stairs.
And then I heard 'Salt Lake City Police, drop the knife, drop the knife, drop the knife.'
I will never forget seeing Ben's eyes come downstairs.
I will never forget his voice, I'll never forget that shot.
It's a shot that, out of defense, Officer Holme used to save Bre Lasley.
"The job that we have is to intercede in really dangerous situations."
There's two sides to this issue.
For example, these people in St. Louis think police are using excessive force.
And some people here think the same thing.
"Some police, I do think, are too violent."
Bre's situation is different from the shootings in St. Louis and at Georgia tech, but Detective
Chipping says every police officer has good intentions.
"We don't sign up for this job to be overaggressive to people.
We sign up because we want to protect people."
