This likely means that the knife never existed in the first place, and was made up by the cops in order to justify shooting into a crowd.

    are they just training them now to shout something about their life being in danger before they pull the trigger?

    like south parks “theyre coming right for us!”

        Yeah, the South Park episode was based on a true story.

      No no, just feeling like they’re in danger is fine now.

      If you yell something, you might spook the person you’re intending to shoot who is, for example, simply holding their wallet.

      I’m guessing you haven’t heard of Killology. They are literally trained to see the populace as dangerous enemy combatants, and they have fewer rules of engagement than soldiers do abroad. So they shoot whoever and whatever the fuck they want, and get away with it.

      Training is short so they make sure to make it count, they don’t see what they’re doing as a profession necessitating years of training like other professions unfortunately.
