You can debate the need to arrest, but creating a ruse that ends up with the man being shot several times?

    Go back to Reddit if you’re willing to write a paragraph about an article you didn’t read.

    “The shooting occurred after Roberts, who had a .22 revolver with him, pointed his weapon at the two plainclothes officers after they confronted his brother.”

        Any American citizen should be within their right to pull a weapon on an average person who is threatening them or their community members. Plain clothes cops should maybe be in uniform if they don’t like that. It is every American citizen’s right to be armed.

      Pointed, not fired. In the other posters example, the person killed a cop, and still was arrested without being shot. They’re asking why American cops can’t do that.

        I’m guessing the body cam doesn’t show the 22 being pointed at the officers since the article specifies everything else it saw but not that.

        “The shooting occurred after Roberts, who had a .22 revolver with him, pointed his weapon at the two plainclothes officers after they confronted his brother. He did not fire, police body camera footage shows. After seeing Brooks Roberts’ gun, officers unleashed a storm of gunfire on him, the footage shows. Since Idaho is an open carry state, Roberts was within his rights to be holding the weapon.”

        After seeing Brooks Roberts’ gun, officers unleashed a storm of gunfire on him, the footage shows.

        But if you accuse this of being fake news, wouldn’t the whole story be fake news? That’s confusing

      This “go back to reddit” nonsense from all the kids (maybe you’re an adult, but it makes you seem like a kid) who read comments they don’t like is getting really tedious. Maybe you ought to go back to reddit?
