Don't see how that's relevant to anything. A police officer walking after another person, on foot, doesn't have the potential for collateral damage that a car chase does.
It is completely ridiculous to frame this as "police shot a man over $2.90", when the shooting only happened after a verbal death threat, brandishing a lethal weapon, followed by an overt attempt to make good on that threat with that weapon.
Only the most ACAB-addled mind would think it appropriate to frame the events that way.
Looks at the number of people that got shot.
Obviously that's not true.
And all of that stuff with the weapon is based only on the police claims. The same police that won't release the body camera footage.
Not as a result of two people walking, but as a result of someone brandishing a knife and attempting murder in a public place. Cringe goalpost move.
And all of what you're saying is based on literally nothing but your hate boner for police, lmao.
The image released shows a knife clutched in the criminal's hand. I'm sure he was strolling around like that very innocently and cops just opened fire on him for a laugh, right?
The straw-grasping is incredible.
Like it'd matter to your type. We have extensive hard video evidence of what happened with Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, all put online publicly mere days after the event, and there are still innumerable imbeciles claiming shit it directly contradicts happened, lol.
Lol, you guys used the same argument about car chases. Just two cars driving. It's an absurdist reduction.
And no it's not based on hate. It's based on the police being found to lie over and over again. Even with video footage available. They just aren't credible. And you bending over backwards to defend them shooting into a crowd is repugnant.
Fact: Bigotry is hate. Fact: Assuming someone is a liar based on their job is textbook bigotry.
Therefore, yes, it's based on hate.
ACABers are so obsessed with their prejudicial hate that they actually happily swallowed the complete fabrication in the OP's title, and ACTUALLY convinced themselves that cops saw someone jump a turnstile and their initial immediate reaction was to open fire on them, lmao.
