Folly's getting pretty fucking close to this level. It's like the only lives that deserve safety are police lives, and it would be totally ok to some people if they killed half the people they ever met in the name of safety exclusively for themselves.
I'm not saying that the police are always right. A lot of what they do is really fucked up.
But there does have to be a line somewhere. And imo, taking a cop's weapon and firing it at them is clearly on the wrong side of that line.
You start shooting at a cop, even if it's just a taser, then you deserve what you get.
Fucking horseshit. Tasering someone,
anyone, is not, in fact, grounds for extrajudicial execution. You don't "deserve" to be shot in the back for anything that went on there. Especially not failing to taze someone, when their partner is standing right goddamn besides them and after they tried to assault and taze
you. There is zero goddamn grounds, justification, or reason outside of fucking bloodthirst for that man to have been murdered by a pair of cops in that parking lot. If it
weren't a cop doing the killing there's even odds (assuming the victim was white, anyway
), they'd be in jail right goddamn now for it.
The main issue here is the alleged racism. BLM* even burned the Wendy's down because of it.
But there's zero reason to suspect that it was motivated by racism.
There's every reason. Cops (and others, for that matter) deal with belligerent drunks (nevermind you'd have to be fucking wrongheaded to think that was what was going on there to begin with) all the goddamn time. Most of the time, and especially when they're white, the drunk ends up going home mildly scuffed up at worst, even if they struggle, even if they yoink a fucking teaser or some shit. Instead this one gets capped in the back after running away, and the primary difference is real goddamn evident.
