    Amazing anyone can pretend there's such thing as the rule of law in America at this point. The state can kill you at any time for any reason and nothing will happen.

    I looked for this article on /r/news, didn't see it. So I attempted to post it. I got a notice that I was a "suspected bot" who had submitted "too many requests". That was the first submission I'd made to /r/news in months.

      There were 22 witnesses in the area, and some were almost hit by stray fire. The cops really fucked it up.

        This reminds me of that video of jewellery robbers escaping with a kidnapped person, being stopped by a traffic jam and like 10 cops unloading 100 bullets into them, killing the suspects, kidnapped person, and like two people in the traffic jam. Amazing work...

          I think that was Pembroke Pines PD. Mfrs were using cars with passengers as cover and they were firing at the UPS truck from every side

        It's weird because when it happened there was hardly a murmur about it (still is). I thought I read that like a single witness said the cops opened fire for no reason. This article was even from two days ago and I didn't hear about it until it was literally promoted by Twitter.

    "There was no, ‘Get out of the car!’ There was no, ‘Stop!’ There was no nothing. They just got out of the car and started shooting,” Mr. Louis said.

    Mr. Smith described it similarly: “There was no yelling. There was no screaming. There was no altercation. It was just straight to gunshots.”

    Of the 22 people interviewed by The Times who said they were near the shooting when it occurred, only one man reported hearing any shouting before the gunshots began.

    Pretty sure Trump confirmed it last month when he gave a press conference and said it was a hit and that he ordered it. Just sayin.

    good to see news coverage on this, very obviously a hit.

    weird how they try to make it a possibility that the victim here fired a round from his handgun. No witness saw him with a gun drawn, not even the lying pigs claimed he fired, the gun was in his pocket when he died, and there was no .380 bullet found on the scene. It's most likely that the casing in the car was from range practice at some previous time— wouldn't there be gunpowder residue on his hand if he fired?

    remember that time that The Bourne Ultimatum came out and the CIA hit on that Guardian journalist was derided as being too unrealistic and that the US would never issue a kill order on a private citizen without trial?

    I mean that's cool but there wasn't anything of the stuff when the cops murdered the UPS truck driver taken hostage so...

    This is extremely fucked up, obviously, but...

    Three or four of them rolled up on him without any warning and just started firing, and he was still able to get out of his car and run half a block away? Like holy fuck how are pigs even bad at murdering people, that's like the one thing they've figured out how to do right and they still suck at that.

    Is this the guy who killed that dude who fucked around and found out a few days ago? Or a different guy?
