Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren’t upstanding citizens? What a surprise…
Not like you have to be a criminal to get shot by the police in the US…
It doesn’t help though.
Terrorist killed by police.
Terrorist killed by terrorists
Died doing what he loved
I dunno why but this comment was the one that made me burst out laughing.
Just have Trump pardon the bullet out of him.
On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.
ACA still B, though, even if in this particular case the victim was a terrorist.
Fascists should be getting shot because they’re fascists, not because cops are violent incompetent bastards who indiscriminately murder people without consequence.
This is a case of classic fascist friendly fire.
New out-group just dropped
Just fash shooting at fash.
Being a B is not a binary situation. There are levels. Both can be Bs on different levels.
A pardoned domestic terrorist with a gun and a problem with law enforcement? What could go wrong?
Here’s to hoping for another 1500 “justice by traffic stops.”
I’d rather they get educated/rehabbed.
Especially since the people with actual power and greater culpability have only gained from the constant stream of lies that led them to believe this was okay.
America does not rehabilitate prisoners. The U.S. prison system is entirely about retribution. So that was never going to happen.
Cheap labor too
Your autocorrect has seemingly substituted “retribution” in place of “profit”
A little of column A and a little of column B.

Wow. I literally don’t care at all. It’s sad but it’s true.
Oh noes!!
Anyways.
Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?
I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it’s a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole “brotherhood” thing is performative. I’ve had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can’t wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.
Here in St Louis they just shoot each other for fun
St. Louis officer gets 7 years for killing female colleague while playing Russian roulette
I used to regularly visit a kava bar that happened to become a hang out spot for cops and military people. Honestly they didn’t seem that bad. One guy would come in every day for a kratom we’d take shells together. He played Slay the Spire on his switch, would ask for tips cause he kinda sucked.
Really they take easily impressionable young men and through the system mold them into something toxic. We become the roles we play. Shakespeare or something
kava, kratom, taking shells, slaying the spire in a switch…
I’m so confused.
I feel like one of us had an aneurysm.
“slaying the spire” as in playing the video game Slay the Spire. Taking shells is lost on me, and Kava and Kratom are just legal highs/organic substances/dietary supplements/whatever it is called now.
This is your posting on kratom.
Not to sound like I’m defending them but are you sure it wasn’t just workplace gossip tier stuff?
Maybe if they weren’t cops, yeah. But these are already people willing to murder for pretty much no reason at all. The only thing really stopping them is this stupid “brotherhood” crap which they drop in a second when the other cops aren’t around.
So sure, maybe it’s just workplace gossip, but I know I’ve never worked in a place where I was expected to always defend my co-workers no matter how heinously they acted.
Thanks to lifelong mental illness I only started developing more than a marginal sense of real empathy in my 30s, and it’s an extremely limited resource. So unfortunately I don’t have any to spare for the police.
I’m still working on my natural tendancy to paint with a broad brush, which is more than I can say about the cops.
I’ve heard it’s a sin
That cop probably just didn’t have enough PVD to get the day off to go themselves.
One down.
“Yes, I am untouchable, the cops can’t do jack sh—”
“I know my ri-”
Should have spent more time reflecting on his wrongs I guess
Leaving a comment here to look back when there is body cam footage and/or more details.
The fact that this person participated in an insurrection does not excuse a killing by police or give me joy in the outcome.
I just see it as the trash taking itself out.
It’s a tragedy when police abuse their power to kill, but at least he took out a shameless MAGA terrorist instead of it being a “Code 1488”, that’s Police Jargon for “Having to use deadly force on another black man minding his own business.”
SomeALL of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses!
It’s almost as though his supporters are a bunch of violent extremists.
But. If that were true, why would the incoming president pardon them!?
Good. One less piece of trash in the country
fewer
One less piece of fewer in the country.
Perfection
I guess this is the kind of shit that happens when you ask the Monkey’s Paw to be pardoned on your last wish…
