Nice bullshit headline that implies the cops are just so racist (gotta be sure they mention the jaywalker’s race, right?) that they saw a black guy jaywalking and just decided to gun him down for it. Meanwhile, from a better article:
At some point during the struggle, Reinhold grabbed hold of Israel’s gun in its holster. Duran shot Reinhold twice after he continued to resist arrest and kept his grip on the gun, prosecutors said.
The deputies gave voluntary statements to investigators that were corroborated by surveillance video, witnesses and forensic evidence, the letter said.
Yes, it is cut and dry that they were planning on doing something horrible and using the jaywalking as an excuse to start the encounter.
Yeah, let’s just ignore that he refused to simply go back to the sidewalk when directed to, that he physically resisted being led back to the sidewalk, and that he then went for the cop’s gun, and that he wasn’t shot until he did that.
Just ignore all that, make your assumptions, and call me a bootlicker if it makes you feel better. Doesn’t change the facts.

Gee, not so cut and dry after all, huh?

I see you deleted your other bootlicking comment and replaced it with this one. Feel free to keep trying, bootlicker.

The cops knew that they were going to escalate the situation from before the encounter ever started.

That’s someone being shot for being black. Were there no jaywalking law, the cops would have found another excuse
