However, when it's the very rare occasion that it exonerates the cops, it's released immediately.
With edits, like red circles around what's supposedly a weapon. 🙄
meanwhile, cops also say "oops pardon the intrusion mr white man assassin, please carry on" and climb back down the ladder
Yeah that was a crazy story. With all the police militarization in this country you'd think they would have some training to go along with it.
I once got sucked into a copaganda thing in Vegas. (I thought they had Tommy guns). The whole point was to put you on the officer's shoes to make snap decisions to show why we need to be less critical of police when they kill civilians. I argued with her that this was why we need to increase training and job requirements. The guide did not like that.
Fun fact, they hate it when a combat veteran comes through and uses military de-escalation ROE. It generally completely exposes them as forcing the scenario.

The only thing that can stop a bad guy (read: minority) with a gun is a good guy (read: straight white male) with a gun.
Is this a Hip Hop Hood reference?
Edit: It just occurred to me that we are living in a stupid 90s comedy.
Just in case anyone else is wondering: allegedly a police officer confronted the shooter before the shots and when the shooter pointed the gun at him he retreated down the ladder instead of firing at the shooter.
Cop was like "oh he gonna shoot trump. Carry on."
Honestly, non-zero chance he was the one good cop lol

No deputies were injured, the sheriff’s office said.
Cowards with guns and itchy trigger fingers. Watching bodycam videos on YT, it's incredible how risk-averse they are. It makes the inaction at Uvalde clearer.
The Uvalde cops saved lives. Imagine how many kids they would have shot if they had entered the school.
I would say all of them, but I imagine their marksmanship is terrible.
I watched one the other day where a black soldier in uniform was pulled over at night so he pulled into a gas station instead of stopping on the side of the dark road and the cops who pulled him over were super aggro about it and from the jump were pointing guns and yelling at him to get out of the vehicle. He put his hands out the window and was asking them what was going on and all they would do was continue screaming at him to do what they say and get out. One of the cops eventually walked all the way up to his window and pepper sprayed him. I think they cops got in trouble for it afterwards but it was so stupid. All they had to do was talk to the dude.
I believe I've seen it and the soldier filed a lawsuit.
And he's the lucky one. He survived.

The cops have classes that teach them to murder first because protect and serve is bullshit.
There are several of these "classes" that PD pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to train cops to be fascist fuck machines.

Historically, all the force, money, and power the cops abuse are why the Templar Knights were eventually tried and burned at the stake for sex crimes, theft, and satanism. Same shit; different century.
Oddly enough the Knights were tortured to death for their hypocritically evil sexually perverse behavior. I don't see that happened to these pigs any time soon though. But they will torture and murder you for doing nothing but having a bad day.

“It is extremely hard to imagine how a woman who calls the police out of fear of an intruder ends up shot in the head by police at her own home,”
No, no it's not. Especially for certain skin tones.
When she had one problem, then she got herself a fatal one.
Society is so accepting of this, nothing will be done. This is just a part of living the American Dream.
"shoot when scared" has been a terrible police policy
Its amazing how the police can be terrified hyper-reactionary cowards, and can use that as justification for murder.
but the bog standard citizenry have to be upright, with 100% control over every single muscle in their body and thought in their head,, while showing the more discipline than the most seasoned military official during an inspection, without a single ounce of fear, hesitation, or doubt, Or else we get brutalized and/or shot.
