So the police encourage the murderer, gave him water and allowed him to keep breaking curfew ...

... then the guy went an murdered someone.

How is this not accessory before the fact?

Not a lawyer but damn, something on the face of what the police did with the 17 yr old kid seems soooooooooo fucked up.

Black guy - unarmed gets shot 7 times in front of his kids

White guy - armed gets encouragement from the cops, a bottle of water and allowed to break curfew with an automatic PGR in plain view.


WTF ?!

thx in advance for any input

should've been carded, the cops saw that kid's face too. And they know the law that one has to be at least 18 to own an assault rifle in Wisconsin. They should've question him on the spot instead of giving him water and sending him on his way with their blessing.

right past them after the shootings. He had his arms up as he approached police vehicles after he had killed two and injury another protestor. They did nothing, even though a person with a long gun walked out of a demonstration where they had to have had reports of weapons being discharged.

You just know if it was a black or brown man approaching them with a long gun in that situation he would've been at least stopped and taken down—more likely he would've been shot.

7. That's because both shootings are considered good.

I’m not kidding in the least to say that it wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see something like the movie, “The Purge” happen. And it could come sooner than we think. MAGATS are armed and ready to get the permission.
