Who's ready for even more burn loot murder?
If anyone can find the guys outstanding warrant info, that'd be good. It's been memory holed hard, and I can't find it

It got found
For everyone out of the loop
Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, that the cops are wrong and she is right.
This is a guy who had been reported for waving a gun and was sought for arrest for illegally possessing a gun. While officers were trying to arrest him, he made a break for his vehicle.
For all they knew, he was going for a gun.
And this is who they riot for.
This is what annoyed me about the Jacob Blake shooting, it's not the "he has a knife!" that matters, its the fact that he tried to open his car door after fighting the cops while they have their guns traines on him. It's the same thing as fighting the cops, cops pull guns, perp starts digging in their pockets, what do we think is going to happen next?
This weird future where people are allowed to dig through their stuff while being warned not to after resisting arrest makes me second guess about trying to be even a small town officer. It's like those soldiers that are/were forced to watch their buddies die because if they shoot the enemy to save them they get court martialled for "shooting innocent civilians" even though they are clearly terrorists.
I know someone who graduated from the academy and was interviewing with multiple departments who pulled out after the Wendy's incident. He's not a big guy, and he knew that because of his size he'd need to use his pistol if a confrontation got to that level, and the fact that doing your job was getting people thrown in jail turned him off the career entirely.
