Considering she was on the ground, with her hands In front of her... How did the pot end up coming off the stove.. unless she reaches up to grab it when they shot.. yaknow, like you can see her doing in the footage.
So you claim the water went flying because he yelled... She wasn't touching it when he yelled.
Are you claiming it's rational to reach for and grab the pot of boiling water in that situation...because he yelled?
You're claiming justification of murder - how do you expect people to take you seriously?
I don't understand why you are being so rude.
If you watch the footage, it makes complete sense.
And most importantly, there is zero evidence that her race has anything to do with it at all.
Your lax attitude towards murder is not helping your case about whether race matters. You don't seem to value life.
I think it's a consequence of America being so gun happy.
You guys need to get rid of em. Big time.
I value human life greatly, I just know not to threaten American cops.. because.. I value human life.
Wow. Reporting. No need for that. If i make more sense than you there's no need to lash out your upset at me.
Reporting what? That I'm not a racist asshole defending a cop committing murder on camera?
Jesus christ. Your behaviour is vile.
First you want to be racist by attempting to force race into it, and then this.. actually. That makes sense.
