and these justify being shot while hugging your aunt at a funeral?
no see obviously, if you do any crime it’s automatically valid to then extrajudicially murder you even if you’re just existing, lol. we at some point started living in judge dredd rules, i guess

except they literally did do that, lol. i’m not sure why we’re trying to justify this here, exactly:

I don’t care if he had an AK strapped to his back, this murder is unjustifiable.
We all have the context and still feel this was wrong. I assure you, it isn’t a kneejerk reaction.

No, it would not be enough, and I don’t only say this because the police shouldn’t exist in the first place. What’s more important is that they have a right to a fair trial just like anyone else. If there are literally any options to stop him from doing harm without killing him, they first need to be taken. And given that he was in his sister’s arms (it’s unclear if it was his sister or aunt to my reading, given that “the deceased” now refers to two of them) and not, yknow, holding the funeral goers hostage, there were still options.

The context of when and how he was shot are both incredibly important. Do you think it’s okay for police to shoot a non-violent, unarmed suspect?

neither “having a warrant for [his] arrest” nor “previously committing a crime” are a justification for shooting someone (especially not before they’ve actually been tried for the alleged crime they’re being arrested on) and i know for a fact you know that because committing a crime is not punished in any sane country by summary execution before trial. for someone throwing around the word “disingenuous”, you are very obviously ignoring the inconvenient circumstances of what you’re trying to defend in trying to run defense here for cops capitally punishing someone for no reason.

i just want to point out: this is a really funny thing to say to someone who is literally an admin on the instance you’re on right now. i don’t mean to condescend here, genuinely, but maybe this instance is not for you if you find yourself doing this.

okay guess you don’t want to answer the question lol

Your justification is framed through the eyes of ‘I don’t know what happened’ and we need an ‘investigation’, the question I was asking was establishing a specific way in which a suspect was shot and asking for your opinion on it. I’m curious to your thoughts on this specific use case, because I’m curious under what circumstances you think it’s okay to shoot someone suspected of a crime.
Persons of a religious persuasion, particularly Christians, may be offended by your use of this word.
Are you accusing us here? Personally, I don’t believe this place is the right fit for you. Would you mind leaving Beehaw voluntarily?
