    A suspect - who fled the scene on foot - was killed by police when found nearby, allegedly still armed.

    Police did their job.

      It’s literally not their job, but this time I don’t care. Something something broken clock something.

        If you shoot every single suspect you encounter, it’s only a matter of time until you shoot someone who deserves it.

      The crime was heinous, but the police are supposed to apprehend the suspect. With qualified immunity and unchecked police violence it’s getting a bit Judge Dredd in some places.

      Hopefully there is some evidence the armed person who was killed was infact the person who committed this crime.

        Thank you for being the solitary voice of reason in this thread. I cannot believe all the people saying “good they got him!” without a second thought about how summary gun justice by the fucking cops is not something we want.
