"be had a firearm" but there was like eight of them, repeatedly punching and kicking him and then they shot him like he was nothing.

Even if he had a gun if they had spent less time punching him and more time actually securing him, it wouldn't have been an issue.

Police spent less time abusing their authority and just doing their jobs, a lot more people would be alive.
Police steal, rape and murder more than any criminal they have ever arrested.
