Of course it was a homicide, what else could it be? One human killed another. Homicide ≠ murder however. On the other hand, it’s been three months now. What is the shooter’s name?
Now, who pulled the trigger?
If he had been a regular street cop who took out an armed black perp, his name would have been plastered all over the news, he would have already been tried and convicted in the press, his job and life permanently stripped from him, he and family would be in hiding for their lives, and his house would have been destroyed by Antifa/BLM.
