He's right LMAO permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Did you watch the video? He's dropping the guns. He drops one in the driveway right in front of the camera. Then he's in the process of dropping the second when the police officer shoots him. You cannot give people the right to bear arms and then shoot them for complying with police orders. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] The_Lopen@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ah, you got me there, I was looking away when the dude dropped the first. Complying with orders, is that what the guy was doing when he was running? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) The stated orders were "drop the gun." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] The_Lopen@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Lol don't get facetious with me. You and I both know you don't run from the cops, regardless of your feelings about them. If you're detained, for instance, by a cop with a gun, then you're not free to go. You know this, you're just being an asshole. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Ah yes. Now citizens have to follow the unwritten rules and unsaid commands as well. Law abiding citizens are psychic, and famously calm under pressure. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] The_Lopen@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You must've forgotten when I said you're being facetious. Bad faith, goodbye :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Lmao.
