Cops shot first, even when they had beanbag gun ready. How do we know? Because they shot the dying man man three times with it as he lay bleeding out ion the ground. Then they loosed a dog on him so he could also suffer the indignity of being mauled as he died. Earlier in the day this same man had put a knife to his own throat, presumably because he was homeless and helpless, merely trying to exist without harassment in his miserable condition. He was shot, murdered actually, because he was poor desert decor and an eyesore to those living nearby. Cops have gone of the rails lately and homeless wretches have every reason to fear being arrested to the point of fighting back when approached by gear queers hellbent on being judge, jury, and executioner.
I am not homeless and I fear coming in contact with them. You never know when they will start shooting. As I have posted before, if you enjoy celebrating your birthdays give them a very wide berth.
