"He was armed"
"Reaching for his waistband"
"Felt in danger"
"Reached for my weapon"
People have heard these bullshit comments so often it's hard to believe and to often nothing in video or eye witness accounts backs that up.
A 12 year old child, young Mr. Rice, was dead 4 seconds after police arrived.
I watched 6-9 cops gun down a little old homeless women who appeared confused and detached, because she had a common steak knife.
A cop killed a innocent man sitting in his car who was following all commands and following the rules.
i watched a video of a white guy being arrested beat the shit out of two cops and neither drew their weapon. He even followed them outside the fast food place and kept attacking them.
I will reserve judgment on who was doing what but given the history and circumstances, it's hard to believe the cops were innocent in all this.
