100 shots from five cops is …. Actually fairly reserved.

20 rounds a piece, a Glock 19 9mm, with the 19 round mag… that could easily have been dumped inside of 15-20 seconds, faster if they didn’t care to aim.

Cops are trained, that when they start shooting they don’t stop shooting until either the target hits the pavement or makes it very obvious they’re no longer a threat. (Which, is why you see cops dump full mags into kids.) there is no “wing ‘em and they’ll give up.”

Once a cop decides to use lethal force… its over.

I have no idea of the particulars- and I’m making assumption that the cops murdered another kid. But that headline is not nearly as excessive as they want you to believe. (Though “cops shot kid” should get you angry!)

Not when they have no valid cause to fire even once FFs!

Sø you’re saying that, at least some of them emptied their mag and then RELOADED to keep shooting for no good reason? That’s what you call fucking RESERVED??

Cops are trained, that when they start shooting they don’t stop shooting until either the target hits the pavement

First of all, that’s horrible. That’s murder.

Second of all, it’s pretty damn hard to “hit the pavement” when you’re seated inside a car trying in vain to not be murdered!

or makes it very obvious they’re no longer a threat

Barricading yourself inside his car unarmed wasn’t obvious enough?

not nearly as excessive as they want you to believe

It’s plenty fucking excessive and even WITH your disclaimers at the end, you’re still minimizing absolutely insane behavior and dismissing it as “reserved”. That’s fucked up and you should probably reevaluate some things…

First of all, you should probably watch the video in the article. Or any of the other videos that came out.

Of special note is the cop at the front passenger window getting shot. those were the first shots fired. You, uh, sure, you want to insist he was “unarmed”? or perhaps you’re suggesting the cop buddies just didn’t like him?

in the cbs segment on it… the ex-cop-talking head makes an excellent point: the pretext for stopping was total bullshit. For one, those windows are heavy tint. you can’t see inside. For another, special tactics teams are not used for “routine traffic stops”. unless it’s an exceedingly slow day. (and it’s chicago. no such thing as a slow day.)

it doesn’t pass the bullshit test. but in the videos released of the shooting… cops got shot first. I’m surprised they didn’t turn the truck into scrap. And yes. that’s fucked up.

You mean the ones carefully curated by the cops to make them come off as well as possible? No thanks. I never watched the campaign videos of Joe Arpaio or Eric Adams and I’m not going to start watching pro-cop propaganda now.

No evidence of where that sho came from. Could easily be a cop with bad aim, yes. I’m not going to give the benefit of the doubt to the murder victim, not the murderers.

it doesn’t pass the bullshit test. but

“I’m not trying to defend murderers, BUT…” 🙄

So you’re full of shit spouting your own propaganda. Okay.

Have a nice life living in a fairy tail where the only monsters are cops.

Nope. Just not automatically trusting the story of cops because I’m not an idiot.

Have a nice life living in a fairy tail where the only monsters are cops.

Have a nice life living in a fairy tale where cops aren’t monsters and haven’t proven themselves as inherently untrustworthy as the IDF, Newsmax or Russia Today.

I think I’ve been very clear about my skepticism.

I’m not trusting the cops for shit. Watch the video. If you want skip the talking heads, go to twenty-five seconds in the video on this article. That’s just before the first shots start. You see a cop get shot.

Those were the first shots fired.

Is it curated? Probably. Their pretext is full of shit, no question.
