Ohio deputy killed by father of 18-year-old fatally shot by police a day earlier
Maybe the cops should be a little more careful who they decide to murder.
The kid stole a car, and then was running away and pointing his loaded gun at the police when they shot him.
Allegedly. I don't know that it won't turn out, in the end, that it was actually his car, and it was a sandwich, and the officer involved had been fired from 3 departments and the cops lied about everything, and so on. But usually making sense of the world by just picking in advance who are the good guys and bad guys, and applying that to every single situation regardless of who's involved or what the details are, is a bad way to go.
The police, as an institution, have entirely lost the benefit of the doubt.
And the policy of "shot first" is not one I want to see in my civilian protection agency.
In police body-camera footage obtained by NBC News, an officer is seen exiting his vehicle and aiming a firearm at the teenager as he runs away. The officer fired at least four shots, the police chief said, and Hinton fell to the ground.
The footage does not clearly show whether the 18-year-old brandished his gun toward police.
they executed that kid and then planted a gun on his corpse… is this your first time?
The whole point of what the father did was because all this "fear for my life" and 'allegedly' doesn't matter. You kill a family member, they kill a family member right back. That's it. That is the logic and frankly I understand it.
This is about the consequences of not having a functioning justice system particularily with regards to the enforcers. Instead of simply not chasing a kid clearly fleeing they chose to end his life. Maybe next time they won't.
There's a video out there of the shooting. The cops arrive at the scene near an allegedly stolen car, four black teens run in different directions away. Within six seconds of arriving on scene, the cop shoots and kills the kid that's in front of him. He was holding a bag, and was absolutely running away.
The cops say he had a gun after the fact, and I think the video shows a gun on the ground in the parking lot, away from where people were running. The two other teens were charged with whatever they call car theft there, one is still at large, and of course the last one was killed by police.
I thought I found a non-edited version of the video last night, but I can't find it again this morning. Yet.
you put “allegedly” in the next paragraph… odd choice, boot licker.
Did the deputy have anything to do with the shooting?
The headline makes me think time travel was involved.
Yeah.
