yep. he had already retired too.
was just doing off duty shit like directing traffic.
that’s the problem with the whole ACAB thing… they’re all bastards in that, they all default to covering for each other when they murder someone. But it’s not really all. It’s so incredibly complicated and each individual cop is an individual person with their own motivations. Some of them wouldn’t actually cover for a cop murdering someone.
That guy’s son was definitely shot in the back while running away, it’s on video… he wasn’t holding a gun and wasn’t shooting back… he was running away and was murdered in cold blood. The cops that killed him almost certainly will not face justice for it, and it happens all the time.
i don’t blame the father. it was a crime of passion, and in that moment, it would totally feel like self defense, like cops vs black people. A symptom of the system…. while i don’t blame him, i don’t support randomly murdering the first cop you see. If it was at least the same cop, that would be justifiable… or at least relatable.
but i mean, how many innocent black kids need to be murdered before it’s a war?
that cop could’ve been genuinely motivated by morality… it’s even more plausible considering he was mostly retired.
