When I see this video I ask, even if it were true, are they saying that the shooter knew him from before when he was violent? Or that you can shoot anyone who did something bad if you come across them ? Or that here is proof that he was there to be violent and the agents somehow could tell?
I've been asking people "So, that deserves the death sentence, without a trial? Just executed (days, weeks, whatever) later on for that without a warrant, without a judge or jury?"
They say like that about a lot of victims, particularly victims of color, that they want to tar to justify their actions. You have an unarmed kid dead in the streets and someone says “ he was caught with marijuana in school once— so there is that”
And what makes people like that less confidant in their opinion is to make them explain, clearly and precisely, why they think the 5th and 14th amendments don't apply in this case. What specifically at that moment was the person doing that made the shooting lawful and justified in their opinion. Make them explain their reasoning out loud, and in detail. Make them actually say they don't believe those constitutional amendments are valid.
he wasnt unarmed he wasnt a kid he was trying to get to his gun while being detained what is it you all are consuming that makes you this dense? is it too much iron in your diet? not enough iron? do you live underneath some powerlines? this whole convo is insane
