In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?

    Boy your reading comprehension is awful, not to mention apparently your eyes as well. He was very much in front of the car, before reversing, while reversing, and then only after she cranked the wheel to avoid him entirely did he step out of the way to shoot her in the head.

    Don’t know what else to say man, already told you you’re not a lawyer and that even our item police chief, and DHS itself say the guy was in the wrong and had no reason to shoot, because he broke policy and did everything in the exact opposite way as they’re trained.

    I’m sure you’ll just ignite everything I’ve read though and repeat exactly the same thing you have been.

      He clearly was not in front of the car reversing. She did not avoid him, the car clearly hit him. All few shots were within split seconds.

      In self-defense law, actions are judged in a split second, not with slow-motion hindsight. The standard is what a reasonable person in that moment would perceive as an imminent threat, based on limited, rapidly unfolding information. You don’t get the benefit of pause, perfect angles, or later analysis — you act on what you reasonably believe is happening right then. That’s why courts focus on perception at the moment force is used, not whether later video review or commentary thinks a different choice might have been possible.
