"Teen murdered by police" would be a better title.

Stories like this make my blood boil. Nothing will every be right until these thugs are put in jail where they belong. We are a long way from there right now. More than likely they will give them a raise for killing him.
Jail. You're kinder than I.
Idastan just brought back firing squads. They've already used it once iirc.
That said, I feel like jail is a worse punishment. I don't think cops fair well in jail. I want them to be looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives while in prison. To never get out. To look out the barred window at the world passing them by in their cement tomb.
oh that's a religious thing don't get me started
As an autistic person this scares the shit out of me, and makes me realize just how fucking lucky I am to be alive with the sheer callous evil that I have seen happen towards me and others.
Gee, I bet he was brown, right?
I have a pet rock named hsmmurabi I ask in difficult times what to do.
Police snipers were stationed on a nearby rooftop
JFC.
Police: oops we shot someone we didn't have to.
Also Police: perhaps shooting more people we don't have to will make things better.
The officers, whose names have not been released, were placed on administrative leave.
Anonymity and a paid vacation for a lead amputation of a neurodivergent teen. And then they add insult to injury by posting up fucking snipers. I can't say anything else that won't get me a ban...
What a stupid headline. He was killed from a police shooting, not from being removed from life support.
Maybe next time a killer is on trail he cpuld just argue that the victim just happened to die later from blood loss, not from the shooting.
I wish headlines were more direct.
"Police killed..." "Teacher raped..." "Politician lied..."
Not "Victim died after police..." "Teacher had sex with underage student..." Etc
