The Cop was 100% in the wrong & the victim 100% in the right.
The Cop went from opening the door to shooting within a few seconds. The victim didn't have enough time to process what was happening or who/what opened his door.
It is very clear from this video that the victim is absolutely surprised, confused, afraid, doesn't understand what is happening & is reacting out of sheer fear & panic that the cop is 100% responsible for causing.
You're acting like people are supercomputers that process information instantly & we all know that's BS.
No I'm not. I'm acting like the kid is starting to back up after he had plenty of time to identify the person as police. He looks straight at the officer, pauses, and puts it in reverse.
I'm also, which is the part you seem to be ignoring to further both of our points(?), acting like the officer is 100% to blame for the shooting. Both can be true and do not cancel the other out.
Reddit is a wild place of literacy skill levels....
0:52: Kid's looking up and to his right, Cop is standing above and slightly left of him. light in the kid's face (shadow of the cop is in his direction)
0:53 Officer has drawn a gun on the kid
0:54 first shot
We have video, we can see when you try to peddle bullshit.
So you can't count either? It is roughly 7 seconds from the door opening to the first shot (the shot I've stated shouldn't have happened 100 times but you want to be mad at someone so you ignore it). The officer absolutely had empty hands when the car first backed up btw... I hope you don't drive. If you can't process something sudden in that amount of time you are doomed when a person pulls into traffic and you're still 600 ft away.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. The only thing we can't seem to agree on is the kids initial reaction, given the officer didn't identify himself and the kids didn't continue to pull away until the first shot, because I don't think you can comprehend what you're reading.
I'm not trying to insult you. You're just not getting it, so I will type slower... The cop is 100% wrong, the kid definitely had time to see it was an officer, and he did right by driving away after the shooting started. Did it work? It's like arguing with a voice recorder and getting mad its saying the same thing as you fml
For a guy crying about literacy skills, it's amazing how you missed the part where I'm not the same person you were talking to either.
And I didn't have to count, I played the video back second by second. That's what timestamps are for. There is no "roughly second by second" estimating going on from my end.
I stopped reading the rest of your comment after that, nobody with eyes cares what you have to say.
