    Thank god I haven’t looked anywhere besides leftist spaces about this news. I couldn’t stand these bootlickers when Renee Good was murdered, so I can’t imagine what shit they’re saying now with this one. Renee’s death was somehow debatable to people, but I can’t imagine how they’ll argue about this one.

    You can literally see a guy in a grey coat walk away with the guy’s gun right as he’s shot. The victim was nowhere close to his own gun.

    If it wasn’t so brutal this would look like a bit from family guy. Multiple cops press him to the ground, unarm him, handcuff him and then one of them puts 12 bullets in him.

    Can’t really tell from the footage which one shot first, but it’s impressive how easily startled these supposedly trained officers are. A single gunshot sound (almost certainly from one of their guns) was enough to make them all panic and shoot a downed guy half a dozen times.

    On the one hand it’s good that they’re afraid, on the other hand fearful men with guns do shit like this. Hopefully they die by the bullet as they lived by the bullet.

    Edit: on closer inspection I think the short green one shot the first shot out of frame, maybe got startled from the sound and dropped the gun? They’re clearly not holding a gun when they run around.

    Edit 2: turns out the guy was had a gun on him, apparently in the back of his pants. Looking at other angles of the footage, it was holstered (both hands clearly on the floor), then Grey goes in and clumsily picks up the gun. Right after that Black Balaclava Mustard unholsters his gun and shoots 4 times. Brown Hat Green-ish then gets startled and also unholsters, shoots 2-3 times as the guy is already on the floor, followed by 4-5 from Mustard. Certainly no misfire there, Mustard wanted to shoot him.

    This is a reminder that guns don’t protect people by themselves. The only way to protect anything with them is to actually pull the trigger. US concealed carry culture often fails to consider that, and this guy probably thought he would be safe.

    A.R. Moxon:

    "It’s best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It’s how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.

    It’s not an inconsistency. It’s very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

    It’s very important to understand, fascists don’t just see hypocrisy as a necessary evil or an unintended side-effect.

    It’s the purpose. The ability to enjoy yourself the thing you’re able to deny others, because you dominate, is the whole point.

    For fascists, hypocrisy is a great virtue — the greatest."

    I mean, I knew mccarthyism isn’t so much dead as it just changed form, but man… The amount of clowns commenting on this with bullshit about “commie governor and mayor” inciting riots is quite something.
