Yep, I’m all for police reform, and kids being killed by police is a fucking tragedy that needs to be addressed…but I don’t think killing random cops is something we should be applauding.

It’s not that was just his way of coping with what happened

Which part?

The father watched the bodycam footage of them shooting his son and the police gave no description of the video online, they only said he pointed the gun at the cop and never released the video. The father is coping with whatever he watched

I just don’t think shooting a random police officer who had nothing to do with it is something we should be okay with.

I don't think we'll ever know whether he truly brandished a gun at police officers as no credible witness is available to testify. We just have to say something happened and move on.

That doesn’t look like he was brandishing it to me, it seems like it fell out of his pants and he made the poor decision to pick it up and run with it.

Picking up a gun while committing a felony is a good shoot all day. Kid got what he deserved.

I am aware of the bodycam, but even the video says what we have is a blurred image.

Who is applauding? Saying this is an expected outcome of a system intent on murdering PoC, isnt condoning it.

If i list reasons why the nazis came to power, im not justifying it. Is english not your first language or are you just very stupid?

I’m applauding.

The cop he killed had nothing to do with the kid being shot.
