Trump’s rhetoric was similar to that of Los Angeles-based federal prosecutor Bill Essayli, who tweeted over the weekend that, “If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.”
Have they seen the multiple angles of footage of this?
Man had a phone in one hand and the person he was helping up in the other.
Unless he had a third hand somewhere, I struggle to see where the fucking gun was.
They really be taking the old GOP doctrine to psychopathic levels just to own the Libs.
They’ll put whatever spin they can on this to justify the actions of their gestapo.
Jon Stewart says it best:
“They’re lying. We saw it. And that’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth. That’s how they lie when they know we know. Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them. And maybe that more than anything was why Alex Pretti reall was a threat. Because he was brandishing a weapon, a handheld aluminum, 1080p, 60 FPS, weapon of mass illumination. Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth.”
Besides which, law enforcement is not legally justified in shooting you damn near no matter what you do. A cop is not a court of law. A cop is not a jury and judge. A cop is not an executioner. Their legal jurisdiction extends to getting you in front of a courtroom and nothing else.
local nazi supporter on my Facebook basically says it’s his fault for being stupid because he should have announced that he had a gun when he began interacting with them
I’m sure that that would go over well
edit: anybody willing to approach ICE/CBP and loudly declare that they have a gun on them?

Yes, they have seen the videos. They are lying. They are liars.
*gasp!*
Yeah, was probably worth noting the question was rhetorical.
Gaslight, Obstruct, Project. That’s the doctrine after all.

Didn’t work for Philando Castile, and that was just a road-side interaction with a “standard” cop. Still murdered.
