Duuuuude, this is not murder, this is self-defense. . .

Sure, the police have multiple options but the action they took was the safest for anyone else but the veteran (the guy who got shot)

Option 1: They waited for a response and when the vet made a gesture of--- https://twitter.com/ricci_richy/status/1252902039501209601">https://twitter.com/ricci_ric...

---drawing something from his bag or belt, there& #39;s a possibility that there& #39;s a gun so the police shot at him (this is what they did)

Option 2: They could& #39;ve zeroed in on him JUST so they could frisk him for firearms or any weapon but this is WAAAAY too dangerous and could& #39;ve---

---gotten atleast an officer killed and multiple ones injured and still him dead because of assault (now the police have a reason to shoot him)

Option 3: waited for the vet to draw something from his side and shoot AN officer, another reason to shoot him

Option 4: shoot the vet& #39;s right hand to disarm and then call an ambulance to treat him. . . but that& #39;s too movie like, no one has an aim that precise.

The officers weren& #39;t trigger happy, they SCARED for their life

they knew that the dude was a veteran and have fought an actual war hence him having PTSD so he would& #39;ve definitely wrecked some shit up if he did have a gun

the woman in the background was whining that they should& #39;ve frisked him first instead of shooting, but as I said TOO RISKY

Sure it was the officer& #39;s fault too because after the first shot, it looks like the vet was disarmed and turned his back. . . the second shot was uncalled for but when you& #39;re within death& #39;s grasp, do you think you& #39;ll think rationally????

Yes I may sound like an asshole because of this thread, but we all have to remember that the police officers are human too, just like us. . . They& #39;re scared just like US, and because we have a tendency to panic when scared, we don& #39;t think like we should. . .
