Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren't upstanding citizens? What a surprise...
Not like you have to be a criminal to get shot by the police in the US...
It doesn't help though.
Terrorist killed by police.
Terrorist killed by terrorists
Died doing what he loved
I dunno why but this comment was the one that made me burst out laughing.
Just have Trump pardon the bullet out of him.
Wow. I literally don't care at all. It's sad but it's true.
Leaving a comment here to look back when there is body cam footage and/or more details.
The fact that this person participated in an insurrection does not excuse a killing by police or give me joy in the outcome.
I just see it as the trash taking itself out.
It's a tragedy when police abuse their power to kill, but at least he took out a shameless MAGA terrorist instead of it being a "Code 1488", that's Police Jargon for "Having to use deadly force on another black man minding his own business."
~~Some~~ ALL of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses!
One down.
On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.
Oh noes!!
Anyways.
ACA still B, though, even if in this particular case the victim was a terrorist.
Fascists should be getting shot because they're fascists, not because cops are violent incompetent bastards who indiscriminately murder people without consequence.
This is a case of classic fascist friendly fire.
New out-group just dropped
A pardoned domestic terrorist with a gun and a problem with law enforcement? What could go wrong?
Here's to hoping for another 1500 "justice by traffic stops."
I’d rather they get educated/rehabbed.
Especially since the people with actual power and greater culpability have only gained from the constant stream of lies that led them to believe this was okay.
America does not rehabilitate prisoners. The U.S. prison system is entirely about retribution. So that was never going to happen.
If it were just another black dude who got shot "because he had a gun", I'd doubt the word of the police about that. But this guy? I'm almost certain he had a gun and made some move that would have raised reasonable suspicion that he was intending to use it. Because those are the sorts of people who when to Jan 6.
Eh from what I hear the Police Union has been up Trump's ass about the people he's been pardoning.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear they've been internally calling these guys "Cop Killers" and being instructed to give them the "Fine Ol' Solution" if ya know what I mean. Police Union is crooked as hell.
"Yes, I am untouchable, the cops can't do jack sh---"
Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?
I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it's a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole "brotherhood" thing is performative. I've had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can't wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.
Here in St Louis they just shoot each other for fun
St. Louis officer gets 7 years for killing female colleague while playing Russian roulette
Hahaha, oopsie poopsie
I guess this is the kind of shit that happens when you ask the Monkey's Paw to be pardoned on your last wish...
It’s almost as though his supporters are a bunch of violent extremists.
Here's to every single one of them meeting a similar end very, very soon.
What's that? If you don't want to get shot by a cop, just comply? /s
Applies in this case without the /s. He got shot while resisting arrest while armed, odds are had he complied (and thus not resisted arrest) he probably wouldn't have been shot.
Probably wasn't an accident. The Police Unions have been pissed at Trump letting these guys go, I wouldn't be surprised to hear they had their own "Second Amendment Solution"
He shouldn't have resisted
Guess his fat orange lord and savior couldn't be bothered
its just the spiderman meme except they have guns
Oh so these guys supported Trump after all? Whatever happened to them being Antifa and BLM?
Hmm, interesting.
So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?
