U.S. Riots of May 2020 over George Floyd and others - ITT: a bunch of faggots butthurt about worthless internet stickers

[Aqua Panda]

The fact the kid had a gun and was running is going to make any prosecution of the officer difficult.

The cop was well within established protocols to assume that when the kid turned and raised his hand that he was about to open fire. It's honestly a suicide by cop or suicide by stupidity situation to me.

>"Bit of a reach"
>Confirmed gun was present
>Boys were being chased for suspected shooting
>Several snapshots from fellow frens showing gun was on his persons when turning
>Since niglets have a known history of not knowing how to properly work a gun, it was most likely jammed
No, it was not any bit of a reach.

Well, it's plausible that he had just fired off all his rounds, but it does seem rather unlikely. It seems extremely odd to still be walking around with the slide locked back on empty. You'd think that most people would either have already changed mags before the cop even showed up, or would have at least let the slide back forward so it's not so awkward to carry.

I did three tours in Iraq, miss me with that bullshit.

This is the sort of thing the Obama administration was trying to drum people out of the service for had it been some rando Iraqi.

I'm only making two points.

#1 The Chicago PD, DA, and Major spent weeks lying about this case. There's no gun pointing at the officer and they knew it.

In fact the Chicago PD heavily implied Adam was the one shooting the gun when now they admit they have video footage of his brother shooting the gun. Again why lie?

#2 "Rendering aid" is utterly pointless to someone who you just shot in the heart and lungs with a hollow point and this cop knows it. He's going through the motions for his defense. Even if he was instantly transported to an ER this kid was dead.

What the politicians say does not concern me. In fact it's utterly irrelevant in a use of force incident. What matters are the factors immediately prior to, during, and after the shooting.

The shoot is justified is all I am saying. Once some pulls a handgun, it's basically a race to see who can get a round off first.

Something I seriously don't get at this point is how people keep making the same mistakes as so many others before them. If you're convinced the police are jumpy, hair-trigger jackbooted thugs looking for any excuse to kill a black person, why do some of the same things every other black person that got shot did? Why would anyone think doing that was going to result in anything but a shooting? I sure as fuck wouldn't go surprising a fucking police officer like that, I have no idea if I'm dealing with some easygoing Don Knotts knockoff or a high-strung hardass from hell. He says freeze, I fucking freeze. If I have a carry, I'm not going to put my hands ANYWHERE NEAR THE FUCKER.

A person can draw a gun and fire a single shot with reasonable accuracy in about two seconds. Once that suspect decides to shoot, the cop is behind the power curve and you have to be fast as hell to catch up.

The cop fired a single shot to stop the threat and immediately rendered medical aid. He did not magdump the kid nor did he wait a couple seconds to shoot again.

Not guilty.

Any kiwis want to test this out, go to an outdoor range with two other friends. Rent two lanes next to each other and do a drill. Both loaded pistols in a holster. Your friend get to decide when to shoot, your objective is to outdraw and be faster on target than your friend.

I was actually just replicating the actions of the kid, the stopping -> drawing gun -> throwing gun -> turning around hands up. He did all of that in less than a second. That's not enough time for the brain to process what's happening, for the cop to cancel his decision to shoot. If the kid had been a couple seconds slower to do everything, he might not have been shot. It's those quick actions, and how short a time span they happened in, that sealed his fate, and I can't place any blame on the cop for it. There was simply not enough time for any reasonable person, particularly one who believed he was going to be shot at imminently, to change his mind from shooting to not shooting.

This and once the cop decided to shoot and bring his gun to target this is what he sees:

The target is partially obscured by the pistol.

Alternative angle from a nearby security camera. Kid ABSOLUTELY dug into his pocket and pitched a gun. What the fuck was he thinking?
View attachment 2090497

He thought he was a hardcore gangster. And for some reason they think that if the weapon isn't actually on your body you can't be convicted on firearms charges or something.

I bet right now this dumb ass motherfucker is getting calls on the daily from other cities being like "Hey, Ted... Guess how many Portland people I got in drunk tanks right now. Just take a guess. Listen, I don't want to be mean, but how would you like it if I came over and fucked you up?"

I'd like to see a riot in Portland composed of a bunch of city/town mayors.

The narrative is that the police are on the hunt for black people, so the best course of action is to not comply so they can escape.

These sorts of criminals do not possess long-term thinking skills. They don't plan. They don't think "if I do this, what will happen?" People ask "what was going through his head when he did so-and-so?" The answer is nothing. When I get mad at somebody, I don't punch them in the face because I think of what will happen after I do it, realize something probably not good will happen, and decide not to do it. These sorts of people are simply not capable of thinking more than one move ahead.

Was browsing the /chicago megathread on the shooting and saw this post

 

[gaystoner]

I'll never understand the vehement defending of people resisting arrest. There are far too little 'police involve shootings' that draw sympathy from me. It almost always involves someone with multiple warrants/a gun/general criminal behavior and then their social media is full of stupidity.

My only question about this whole thing from Chicago...What was a 13 year old CHILD doing out at 2AM? Then you add he had a gun...was fleeing from a shooting incident which is why cops were chasing him.

Edit: From Chicago thread..I literally just dont get the world these people live. How can you try and be empathetic to an individual whos 13 and carrying a gun around past midnight? "Whatexactly was Toledo supposed to do"??? IDK? Maybe not be scum?

Perhaps it's time to bring back this old commercial:

You also have to remember one of the biggest myths in these situations (although it doesn't exactly apply here): don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

If a criminal has a knife, and the cop has his gun still holstered, the knife is at the advantage. By the time the cop draws his gun, the criminal can close the distance and begin slashing.

That's not 100% relevant here except to say that 1-2 seconds is not a reasonable amount of time to react to someone that you know has a gun in their hand supposedly drop the gun and try to surrender.

And we return yet again to the root cause of many issues currently facing our society: a lack of parenting.

There is a scary amount of people in the mainstream right now that don't believe black people hold any responsibility for their actions because of "systemic racism."

Hell, they claim that black people attack Asian people due to "white supremacy."

 

[Quixotic Man]

Anyway, what videogames and Lego sets are you all getting at the Target fire sale in Chicago tonight? I want a Y-Wing!

 

[Feline Supremacist]

Can we just be honest what a clown argument this is?

Immediate aide to someone who was dead before he hit the ground.

And again we've had several weeks of the Chicago PD, DA, and the Mayor making claims form having a gun in his hand to pointing it at the officer only to find out that none of that was true.

Why even make these claims when you know you're going to have to release the video?

I'll also point out that once again the officer had a military background which seems to be a common theme with these shoot first ask question later shootings.

Hey, why not stop running before the fence, drop the fucking gun and stop? Because then the cop knows you dropped the fucking weapon and he can see it with his own eyes. No running, no doing whatever the fuck some shitty rap faggot tells you to do, just stop, don't run and follow directions.

But I guess you assume blacks are too stupid to think and act with minimal logic.

Keep his hands up and let the police take out the gun themselves, it's that simple.
