Chapos, am I crazy? Seen news on reddit about how LA police shot a guy 16 times, because he was running from them, dropped a gun and tried to pick it up. EVERYONE in the comments was like, well, he dropped a gun, they had to shoot him, he was a threat. Am I crazy? Or are they just straight up fascists? All of them were, like, yeah, we need police reform, but this is just media inciting riots, bringing race into this. What the fuck.
People have right to own a gun in USA, like, what, you just gonna shoot every black guy who happens to drop it?
No you're not crazy. Americans in general are bootlickers and worship law enforcement. It's part of our culture.
Before the internet era, they were making these same arguments about Rodney King. The quote "he was no angel" does not originate from any recent shooting or brutality incident. With King, they tried to defend the cops by saying he ran and that was a drug addict.
Whenever cops murder someone, they always look to dehumanize the victim and make excuses. Oh, they were a drug addict. Oh they had previous felonies. Oh they may smoked pot.... At the end of the day, it's part of the class war and dehumanizing poor people who are victims of the police.
