Shot nine fucking times
Still alive enough to file a lawsuit
fucking hell, American cops make Stormtroopers look like sharpshooters
The 911 caller explained to the dispatcher that Mullinax’s mother was out with him, and that their friend “had locked himself in his truck with a knife – and I say that because I don’t want him to hop out and get shot, I don’t know if that’s his plan.” The friends provided cell phone numbers for Mullinax and his mother so law enforcement could contact them.
:the-pigs: Don't worry citizen, we'll blast him well before he has to hop out. We're professionals.
This happened with another person who was in a car and afraid to come out the cops shot him, god I wish I remember the name and story.
Yeah, the pigs check wellness in the sense that Niklas Kronwall checks bodies :acab:
Sir, I'm tactically ascertain a frown coming from your face sir permission to engage with my taser
That sheriff seems very experienced and proactive at smearing police victims in the press.
"Armed with a knife" = was wearing a sheathed knife, or had a folding knife in his pocket
"Violent felony" = property violence
"Pointed a shotgun at us" = we interrogated a mother in shock about the attempted murder of her son and herself that we had just done, and didn't get anything useful so we made this up entirely
"SLED investigation" = jargon so it sounds like I'm representing something more trustworthy than the same guy telling you all this other stuff, who will face no penalty at all for lying in this press statement
"Told the staff at the hospital that he tried to commit suicide by cop" = the sheriff really starting to riff on the story
