South Florida cops claimed they were “forced to fire” at a 32-year-old Black man named Donald Taylor in August because he was armed and would not follow commands.
But newly surfaced video contradicts those claims, showing the Black man walking away from cops with his hands raised to his sides showing no gun in his hand when a Hollywood police officer fired a single shot as Taylor had his back turned to the cops, killing him.
I don’t know, it sounds to me like you’re trying to sanewash murder by using a “tamer” word than straight up “murder” -which this is, we agree on that. I get that’s not your intention, but that’s what it sounds like to me
The actual explanation is way simpler. They’ve adapted their vocabulary to moronic social media’s censorship bots.
Are the words “kill” or “murder” censored on social media ?
I’m not totally sure, but I don’t think they’re explicitly censored, more of a shadow-ban via algorithm (for the folks that give a shit about that kind of thing).
