Shots fired. Its not unbelievable tbh.
I heard some bloke was shot by the police.
so the first person was shot or not?
hardly a prank. what if they shot him.
Did you actually bother reading your articles?The person was shot after attacking the cops. You make it sound like they just shot these people for fun.
At least one person has been shot. https://twitter.com/AP/status/1346918654076723202
We still don't know who fired that shot, and there were no reports of shots fired otherwise. Given the scope of what happened, a single lethal shot fired is kind of a miracle. And shocking given how many injuries and deaths we saw from protests earlier in the year which were under far better control, with far more law enforcement involved.
Looks like the citizen was disarmed by an agent, then executed by an agent, then a different agent emptied a clip into the corpse.https://bsky.app/profile/bradmossesq.bsky.social/post/3md6pi...
That's not attacking a crowd.Perhaps trying to intimidate a crowd blocking the road and push his way through. After which he was shot. From the side.I seriously can't believe someone would hint at justifying this or imply "everyone did about equally wrong".
Your honour, my bullet and gun didn't kill the victim, the bloodloss did.
