Don't worry, Trump will sign an executive order to resurrect him tomorrow.

“Our condolences go out to the family of the deceased as any loss of life is traumatic to those that were close to Mr Huttle,” Sheriff Patrick Williamson said.

“We technically have to seem like we feel bad for someone here”

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

I mean, he's not wrong I don't think. He didn't attempt to say that he felt bad that it happened. He was just saying that he understands and respects that the family of the dead guy will probably feel sad.

Absolutely zero talk about the actual traffic stop. The body cam footage must be quite entertaining up until it isn't...

Yeah, author is confused. Later down the article it says 2021.

Daniel Ball of Florida was detained for an illegal firearm possession charge, a case that predated but emerged from his involvement in the 2021 Capitol insurrection.

Ah, honest mistakes do happen, glad I'm not the only one that noticed. Still, facepalm 🤦‍♂️

As a famous Chinese Idiom says:

以毒攻毒 - Use the Poison, to eradicate the Poison

(Or in western terms: I used the ~~stones~~ nazis to destroy the ~~stones~~ nazis)

If this wasn't a Jan. 6th person, people would be all up in arms about this. Nobody should be shot during a traffic stop, there is zero reason to pull out a weapon unless one is pulled on you.

I'll reserve opinion until the bodycam. Initial suspicion should always be on the cops, but this guy is a known insurrectionist and violent person so I'm not holding my breath.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

That's because context matters. I assure you, this individual celebrated whenever unarmed POC were murdered by the police. It's a bit poetic that this was his end.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Would they? Or would they just not have heard about it? It happens about a hundred times each year, yet how many do we hear about in the news?

[–] Loce 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But being a Jan 6th person says a lot abot that person. I do believe he resisted arrest. I imagine a sovcit type of mentality, or worse.

The other guy (from the other day) from J6 end up back in prison when they immediately bought arms after being released. The brain rot on these people...

[–] NocturnalMorning 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Resisting arrest also doesn't warrant death. This shit is out of control. I don't care if it's a piece of shit Jan 6th person or a black dude, or any other brown person. Nobody should die because cops have itchy trigger fingers.

[–] Loce 1 points 1 week ago

That is true and I agree.

[–] Ledivin 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

This happens literally every single day. If it wasn't this piece of shit, then people would be doing exactly the same thing they normally do about injustice: jack shit.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Oh please, a small few will scream while the rest of America thinks it’s great that a VIOLENT DISGUSTING CRIMINAL was given EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESERVED.

America is a sick place that revels in violence and killing.

[–] Madison420 3 points 1 week ago

The account I heard says he did but they didn't specify if that was from the report in which case probably from a cop or if it was someone on scene.

[–] P00ptart 0 points 1 week ago

Did you read a different article than I did? Cause the one I read didn't mention the stop at all. Unless you read a different article on this already, there no information at all about whether or not a weapon was pulled. You assume there wasn't.

"Ain't that a shame," the sheriff should receive a paid vacation to Hawaii. Hopefully, we will watch a video with popcorn and beer.

Was expecting most of them to go back to jail, but this makes sense too.

[–] Cold_Brew_Enema 8 points 1 week ago

Hahahaha. Good. Rest in shit, asshole

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 5 points 1 week ago

Two wrongs occasionally make a right, or maybe just a lack of a wrong, when they're pointed at each other in just the right way.

Still a bad system that needs to be fixed.

Let them fight

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Wow, that was a quick.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Got to hand it to the cops. They let the rule of law have an try first before dealing with it themselves.
