“Watch this, he’s going to jaywalk,” one of the cops says as they pull up to Reinhold.

The other responds, “Don’t make case law.”

Yes, it is cut and dry that they were planning on doing something horrible and using the jaywalking as an excuse to start the encounter.

I see you deleted your other bootlicking comment and replaced it with this one. Feel free to keep trying, bootlicker.

Yeah, let's just ignore that he refused to simply go back to the sidewalk when directed to, that he physically resisted being led back to the sidewalk, and that he then went for the cop's gun, and that he wasn't shot until he did that.

Just ignore all that, make your assumptions, and call me a bootlicker if it makes you feel better. Doesn't change the facts.
