Absolutely amazing. I cannot begin to describe how terrible this was.
We all should be very worried seeing things like this. Here we had an upstanding AMERICAN CITIZEN, who’s lifes work was helping autistic individuals, lying on the ground, complying with everything, not worrying a ton about himself, instead worrying about his autistic patient and what does our law enforcement do? They shoot him. Literally shoot him, and do it long after initial contact.
This officer should be charged with pre-meditated attempted murder, and nothing short should suffice. Secondarily, the other police officers should be dealing him some swift “on the side” justice.
If we are to be truly free men and women, we need to fix this. The whole of the police force may need to be purged, the training reviewed, and new requirements set. This is absolutely appalling, and again should frighten every true American.
I will leave all FReepers with this. If you review this, and believe this was anywhere near ok, then I do not consider you one of my countrymen.
The man was doing what he was supposed to be doing. hands up. fingers extended lying on ground.
This officer flinched or has a hair trigger on his sidearm.
