Every newsperson that say's "the images you may see are graphic..." has clearly never spent more than 5 minutes on Reddit

[nealamesbury]

So, they told him to get out, and when he tries to, they shoot him.got it

[johnnylong]

Just when I thought police couldn't sink any lower... Do they have any demographic still "backing the blue?" I don't think they do.

[Englandsbestlover]

Who’s to say they didn’t put his gun on the floor by his feet? I wouldn’t believe the pigs if they told me my name

[charlesoboyle]

Police chief-my cops were professional.

They true to form ATTACK him-them once they see the LEGALLY CARRIER FIREARM-THEY MURDER HIM WITH 50 OR SO SHOTS.

Cops don't care that it is LEGAL for us to be armed. They INSTANTLY murdered him.

They escalated a pretext stop-notice they did not say his "plate" was bad-their computers suggested it "might be" but turned out it was ok

They attacked him-without ASKING if he had a firearm.

As soon as they saw the pistol-all five unloaded on him

That POS chief claiming his officers were professional-NEVER ASKING HIM IF HE WAS ARMED-as soon as they see the pistol-they execute him


Notice NO VIDEO of him with gun in hand!!

Never asked if armed-murdered him

They needlessly go hands on-them murder him-fire and charge ALL of them

Where is the VIDEO of him with GUN IN HAND????

[dalequezada]

ps all those cam's but only show the 1 from behind the cop, no bias here

[jamesdzimitrowicz]

Ok "officer" if your child was murdered in such a way I'm sure you would defend the cops that committed murder against your own blood

[ricktucker]

So they shot him just because they seen a gun?? And the police chief says they did their job? 🤔
I'm confused.

[joshmaltais]

Disregard his ignorance, the cop had right to stop for vehicle registration, he at no point was a harm to anyone and the use of deadly force, regardless of a pistol present, wasn’t justified whatsoever.
They can clearly see a gun on the floor not in either hand and he wasn’t reaching for it.
The weapon was no more dangerous than theirs, till they wielded them and murdered him.

[delphilungwyn]

He didn't even have the gun in hand. 5 grown men pulled him over and happily murdered this man.

[gnomeheart]

never knew that a bad tag was a death sentence.

[darrellfudge]

We have investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong.

[Bizzaro]

DUE PROCESS? Who escalated? American soldiers cannot fire until fired upon in a war zone, but police can open fire when an American exercises their rights? Does everyone see the problem?

[shelleyking]

Phone was in his hand. Reached for seat belt with left hand. Murdered in two seconds.

[bloodyzbub]

Grown man decided to play a stupid game...he won a stupid prize.

[joeharry]

Not sure if the guy is educated enough abt letting the officers do their job, but he was not shooting anyone nor was there any indication of that prior to the _execution_, looks more like the officers panicked and over reacted dramatically

[dbree]

the real question is, why are people getting killed for a traffic infraction? is it really that important that the state collect that money? does it need to mean someones or is it about ego and control?

[agnesrodriguez]

"We investigated ourselves and we've done nothing wrong"-killer cops

[hanaspa]

They were in the process of pulling him out of the car. One cop saw a gun on the floorboard then yelled in brainwashed-panic regarding said inanimate object. Then clown-panic ensued. Traveling with a self-defense device is now punishable by death. This is the worst snuff-film commercial to justify an execution that I've ever seen. So, watching a video after the fact, slowing it down, and adding red circles makes an execution okay. Why not layer-in some ominous music while having the video narrated by a voice actor reading from a script? The danger that they were supposedly in is the simple witnessing of an object. Not reached for, not aimed at them, just there. Trained executioners.

"Went in an unfortunate direction" huh Chief? No, your Cops murdered that guy. Comply or die is the motto of US Police.
