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.
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...
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.
That is true and I agree.
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.
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?
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.
Considering he participated in a failed coup d'etat riot, I'm more inclined to think he pulled a gun.
Might still be something awful that happened for no reason, but coincidentally, happened to an awful person. We don't know, at this point. But we know he was an awful person - so either way, fuck him. If it turns out the cops murdered him then fuck them too.
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.
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.
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.
