ITT CRYPTO THINKS IF SOMEONE IS FLEEING VIA FOOT AN ADEQUATE RESPONSE IS TO SHOOT THEM 5 TIMES IN THE BACK INSTEAD OF POSSIBLY INCAPACITATING THEM VIA LEG
its less about that, and more about the trend i have been observing. including an entirely unjustified murder by police in my own town. you make valid points, but overall its a disturbing trend
The root of all this hysteria is senseless violence. A teenager was shot, allegedly with his hands in the air signaling surrender. That is the only account we've heard. That is senseless violence. Then when protesters show, the cops show up in riot gear and tear gas. An unnecessary reaction. This then leads to protests getting violent and molotovs getting thrown at police. Violence breeds violence
if he was still able to retaliate after multiple bullets had hit him, and attempted to do so, then and only then would the officer have justification to kill him
These f*ckers shot my dear friend after he robbed a convenience store. The motherfricking injustice ... It's payback time biatch *throws Molotov cocktails at police*
A window was busted with a brick, the employees locked themselves in a storage room to protect themselves, and an employee said ''i am very thankful that the police line was there.'' ~~
Most nights, you do realize that people are shooting off fireworks, these riots have postponed school in the area for a week already--perhaps more. There is a curfew imposed upon some of the area that has not participated in any protests. The police are there to protect the residents, keep looting away, and try to get it calm enough for the children to be able to start school tomorrow. Nothing seems to be helping, but I truly hope some solution comes.
The teargas tonight was to get people away from a McDonald's which had been overrun with protestors and the employees were fearing for their safety. The police got the people away so they could go in an get the employees out. =/
