Like, there were no reports about the suspect having a gun, the pig says "let me take point with the rifle", as if a normal handgun somehow wouldn't be enough. Then he just starts shooting IMMEDIATELLY when he sees the guy, doesn't confirm that it is indeed the suspect. The pig shoots him multiple times, then the pigs starts screaming at the dying man to "turn around". The guy they shot could be acting in self-defense, we don't know. The pig just wanted to shoot someone, he couldn't shoot the person already on the ground and bleeding, so he shot the first person he saw standing.

    Who actually posts that when there's police killings in the news? Regular bootlickers, or do precincts get their secretaries to make accounts and post?

      Unironically, there are a lot of police departments that employ cops solely to do PR for them.

        Like "Officer Friendly" (this is actually what they called him) that did PR visits to the high schools where I grew up.

      Most police departments have a PR/Marketing person. Larger ones like LAPD have a quite large department, including full-time outreach officers. (This is also true in the UK and Aus, though the B in ACAB displays a bit differently here.)

      In the UK the military wing that does this job is called 77th brigade. I believe different police forces each keep their own specialised pr division that outputs such content, so there are a lot of different sources.

      Probably similar in the US, particularly with the absurd budgets.
