You’re saying key facts, but there’s no proof at this time that he was aiming a gun at the cops. The article makes that very clear. That has not been established at all. There’s nothing that proves he even had a weapon. That’s a claim the police made. But has not been proven. You should never ever take police statements as fact. Particularly when they so obviously have motive not to be truthful.
Never suggested it did. I just said that whatever was in the video enraged him to the point that he killed someone over it. So maybe we should take that as an indication of what he thought of the video. Doesn’t that make more sense than thinking that they accepted the police’s story 100%?
I’m smart enough to know that there is body camera footage of the incident and the family has already seen it and I similarly know that with the climate in the USA if the footage showed no gun and nothing to support the officers beliefs then we’d already be fucking rioting.
Making shit up without having evidence is tantamount to lying. It’s disinformation regardless of if it fits your world view.
The police claim he had a gun, they claim he pointed it and that was the impetus.
The family has not refuted this claim. Maybe they will, they haven’t yet.
As it stands this is what we KNOW.
Making claims one way or the other without any credible evidence is called making shit up.
I’m not making anything up by pointing out that your claim is pulled out of the air, that’s all it is. The family hasn’t said he didn’t have a gun, the cops say he did. People in this thread do not know one way or the other so making claims is ridiculous.

There is body cam footage of the event.
The family has already reviewed it.
There’s been no statement that he wasn’t carrying a gun from the family.
The video was so enraging to the father that he went out and killed another police officer. Seems like a statement to me.
I mean dude just lost a kid. Right or wrong, people make bad decisions in those situations.
Revenge doesn’t make an action justified.

Uh, the dad made a statement of sorts.
Are you stupid enough to think that he absolutely had a gun just because they made no statement either way? Their son was just murdered you asshat.

You have implied throughout this thread that no statement from the family means he had a gun. That is also a bullshit lying accusation.
Oh my god this is insanity.
