Warning: This is a video of a police officer murdering a human being. [View all]

Link to tweet

The thing that I noticed about this cop is that he went out of his way to make a tense situation even more so. He intentionally set up Daniel Shaver to fail and then coldly took his life for that failure.

This killer cop was just acquitted by the way, affirming that the police can at times commit cold blooded murder and have that murder endorsed by the state.
