Incident

horrifying. enraging. heartbreaking. it's horrifying to see how after an unjust murder at the hands of a trigger happy police officer, rather than trying to maintain transparency and extend dignity to the man shot, the police are more concerned about their cameras and when they can turn them off. the immediate fabrication of events and the rush of reassurance to the murderer is sickening to watch because at no point were their lives in any form of danger. the man attempted to showcase his foid card and he never once reached to bring out the gun and yet the first thing they say is that he tried shooting them and would've killed them. the cop who kept trying to reassure him, playing the victim, saying how she was so scared she wouldn't come home to her kids and how he did the right thing...it's hard to watch. they killed an innocent man and yet the first thing they think of is saving their own asses, of protecting one of their own despite the fact that they aren't the good guys in this scenario. this isn't an isolated incident which makes it all the more heartbreaking. a system built on racism and one that protects each other over serving their community is not one worth maintaining. reforms are not enough to keep these unjust acts from happening, the system needs to be deconstructed. acab. p.s. the fact that they just got a slap on the wrist is absolute bullshit. someone's life was ended for absolutely no reason and they get to walk away unscathed. it's unjustifiable.
