No way to prevent this in the only nation it regularly happens. Lol and they put heroic in quotes, like were about to see a bunch of "he was no angel" articles in the coming week. Like what the fuck man :honk-enraged: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/06/26/us/arvada-colorado-police-shot-good-samaritan/index.html
The article says he was holding the shooter's AR-15 when he got shot by the cop, so that did change how I looked at it. Don't get me wrong, fuck cops, but I can understand how the cop arriving on the scene could reasonably assume the guy holding an AR-15 was the guy that shot the cop and might immediately shoot you too.
I know that doesn't justify killing him and he definitely deserves some sort of punishment, but it did change how bad I thought it seemed seeing the comments here.
Has the footage of the holding of the AR-15 been released? the cops have already been found to have tried to lie about the story saying the good Samaritan was killed by the shooter
