Chapos, am I crazy? Seen news on reddit about how LA police shot a guy 16 times, because he was running from them, dropped a gun and tried to pick it up. EVERYONE in the comments was like, well, he dropped a gun, they had to shoot him, he was a threat. Am I crazy? Or are they just straight up fascists? All of them were, like, yeah, we need police reform, but this is just media inciting riots, bringing race into this. What the fuck.
People have right to own a gun in USA, like, what, you just gonna shoot every black guy who happens to drop it?
But if he had picked up the gun and continued running away then their whole narrative would be ruined. They would never allow that to happen. So they had to kill him and pretend it was because everyone - and I mean everyone - knew he intended to fire on them "first" if he had reacquired his firearm. Fuck 12.
