wrt the """misinformation""" you called out:
When a cop feels unsafe you should flop bonelessly to the ground so they can establish dominance, it's the only way to survive.
Literally just lots of people making stuff up.
In that example that she wasn't touching the pot of boiling water when he shot and many more.
They told her go move the pot of water, so she complied. The murder was across the room, and only when lightly rebuked did he opt to pull his gun and charge toward her, shouting that he would "put a fucking bullet in her face."
She immediately started apologizing and dropped to the ground. The murderer then fired 3 shots at her, with one piercing her face and throat.
Since the murderer illegally didn't have his camera on, it's hard to tell if the scared woman was holding the pot of water when she dropped to the ground in fear. It is easy to tell, thanks to his partner's bodycam, that he was in no danger when she made a mild comment in her own home while committing no crimes, at which point she was brutally murdered.
Actually they released his camera footage (and I tortured myself by watching it.)
Content Warning: Pigs being pigs
She had the pot at the moment of shooting.This doesn't justify the shoot though! He was advancing on her with his gun drawn and screaming after she did everything he told her to do! Normal people are not trained on what to do when a butcher comes to your house and starts escalating the situation.
He wasn't in fear for his life. He just wanted to murder someone.
Can we agree he wasn't in fear for his life?
