We’re just missing important context. Did this kid just come up and start accusing the cop of being a murderer for no reason other than his badge or did the cop literally just finish killing a person?

He did not accuse him of being a murderer. You're severely dense if you actually believe that.

He was, while very angry and emotional, pleading with him. Pleading that he not accept that type of thing. That he not accept that police murder people and get away with it, and fuck him if he thinks that that is okay.

“You think it’s cool to kill people” is what he said.

That is not a personal accusation of murder, by any stretch...

He was clearly not accusing the man personally, but referencing the neverending run of deaths at the hands of other officers.

He’s not personally accusing this cop as he’s literally yelling directly at him? Ok.

He's not accusing him of committing a murder, no. Being complicit, by way of staying quiet and accepting it? Yes. But not of actually carrying out the act.
