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.

    Yes, when you comply they might still kill you

    Having said that, please stop using that “special language” or whatever the hell it is that you’re using

    It’s called killing murdering, etc. “unaliving” is just dumb and shouldn’t be used in a normal conversation

      Thank you for at least addressing the topic before attacking the language. I do actually appreciate it.
