Now here's a rather unusual police shooting.
« on: January 31, 2023, 12:18:03 PM »
Now the guy did just stab someone and wouldn't drop the knife and did act like he was going to throw it but it's.... weird.
You'll know what I mean when you see the video at the link

Pretty damning video for the cops
I really don't think this going to get any traction with the MSM though.
The story just doesn't have any legs.

Probably won't stop them from trying to run with it.

cops shoot dead double amputee
Maybe they shot him because he was already dead?  That would freak out most people.

His family say he lost the lower halves of his legs recently after an altercation with police in Texas.

Sounds like a pattern.

If he would have survived, he would have lost any lawsuit.......He didn't have a leg to stand on.

The story is simply not supported by the footage... ornithologically.

Don't jump to conclusions, just take it carefully one step at a time, convicting the cops is no shoe-in . . .
