    I like how they attempt to justify the killing by stating that he was going to throw a knife. Like if that's the case he only had one chance of possibly injuring an officer and wouldn't have been a danger to them after throwing it.

    Not like it matters, wouldn't be shocked if he wasn't threatening them at all as we've seen time and again in all of these cases where the officer report they were in danger and being threatened.

        All lthat killology shit. If the courts weren't clowshows all you'd have to do is show that a cop had been to one of htose things to show they had a depraved mind and indifference to human life.

      LAPD murdered a guy carrying a hammer a couple of years ago. They followed him around for a couple of blocks, with outrageous amounts of backup, before they finally gunned him down.

        There was a black man in Sacramento about 8 years ago walking down the street tossing a knife into the air and catching it in the middle of the day. One of the patrol cars that showed up attempted to run him over twice before multiple cops surrounded and shot him 18 times at point blank range.

      That cop got cleared by not just one, but two grand juries. He will never spend a day in prison. God I hate this place.

    Police when they see a guy in a wheelchair :fash-infighting:

    Police when they have to fight one scrawny, untrained teenager with no body armor who they outnumber 100:1 :scared-fash: :hide-and-seek:
