  • This is the praise you give to someone who fucked up and accidentally killed someone through stupidity with no intent and they’re also devastated that the death happened. Some dumb party prank or something. They’ve otherwise been a normal human and stayed out of trouble. You’re trying for leniency from the court, but still expect you’ll go to jail for a while, just hoping it won’t be a long time.

    This MF showed up already primed to kill someone. Deliberately positioned himself in order to claim a threat and escalate the situation, while she was being told to leave* by other officers, and she attempted to leave and was shot by him within seconds even after he was no longer in front of the vehicle. He doesn’t have any remorse. Fuck him.

    *([https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/01/07/shooting-south-minneapolis-ice-agents-federal-operation](“Some of them were leaving, and they just went around her, but ICE gave her orders to leave, while at the same time, another ICE person said, ‘Get out of the car,’ and he reached for her door handle. And then there was an ICE agent in front of her vehicle. ) Seems to be typical cop bs to issue conflicting orders. The shooter could have simply stepped aside, but chose not to.)

    Ah, now they bust down your door in full paramilitary tactical gear after rolling up in an MRAP and APC, then just shoot you for “resisting.”

    90’s were the good old days.

    Remember the ‘80s, where a lot of the action films were heroes wiping out boardrooms full of evil dystopian executives…? Yeah. Funny we don’t see much of that anymore.














  • I don’t know why you’re downvoted. You’re essentially correct and this justification has been used by LEO on many occiasions. All they have to do is claim they felt or saw something that made them believe their life was in danger - even if that threat was them deliberately placing themselves in front of a vehicle and refusing to step aside when it was apparent the vehicle was headed toward them with plenty of warning at worst a shin bruising speed. This is how we get people shot who are unarmed, or already on the ground, or acorns hitting car roofs.

    However, he’s not innocent. Not at all. It will be impossible to convict because the legal system is full of boot lickers or scared of the police, and trump toadies will intervene.
