    Why did this distinction was made in the first place? Do cops in Kentucky have a habit of gunning down homeless people?

      No, it’s so ordinary people like you and me can do it. Guess they were jealous the police were having all the fun.

      Cops have always had a habit of killing the homeless. Also they have a habit of killing the homed. Thanks to qualified immunity in the USA, a cop just has to feel threatened, not actually be threatened, to justify the use of deadly force.

        The worst part is that in the rare cases that the cops might possibly be held accountable beyond qualified immunity, juries also like to give them a pass because they l can relate more to a sad cop’s excuse of being afraid more than some corpse that can’t speak for themselves.

          And in the very rare case it looks like the police officers will actually face accountability, SCOTUS is there to say it can’t pass Qualified Immunity because the police officers laughed while they did it instead of chuckled.
