Itās not fine. Itās just predictable. Itās also equally predictable that police not gunning people down results in fewer angry reactions to extrajudicial executions.
Your argument is, because we generically trade some liberty for the benefits of society, the concept of freedom shouldnāt - indeed, cannot - include constraining those we authorize to kill for the state, as the state?
He was not in his car, otherwise he would not have been able to walk away from the police would he? Also, people in their cars have been known to have guns under their seats or tucked between the seats or in the glove box. Itās really kind of stupid to reach for something or to be uncooperative with the police isnāt it? Thatās how misunderstandings happen and people get hurt or killed.
Then donāt confuse such authorization to kill as authorization to murderā¦ There is a difference. Cops who murder should be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law. Cops who kill in defense of themselves or others are not murderers. Let a proper investigation determine the case, not public opinion or a mobā¦
Could the same āumbrella manā be responsible for all of this? You know, the right wing Hells Angel who was supposed to be responsible for all the violence in Minneapolis. What was his name again? I know it must have been made public because his name was not being released until he was charged and it doesnāt take a month to charge someone.
Just FYI, turns out the shooter was a minor, so he couldnāt legally carry the gun, which means that because our court system runs on irony that heāll almost certainly be charged as an adult for the killings and spend at least a decade behind bars, probably more.
