    This is the procedure they followed:

    Was the deceased white?

    Yes: they are a victim and the police were at fault.

    No: The perpetrator was clearly a violent criminal. The use of force is justified.

      The police would only be at fault if it was a white person and the police officer is Hispanic or black. If they were white, it was an unfortunate tragedy and no-one at fault.

    Post natal abortion in a state where it’s illegal.

    EDIT: I want to be clear. This is tragic in all sorts of ways. My comment could look like a joke but it’s just the sad reality.

    This is the kind of story that sets off my bullshit meter so I always go read about it. This is the rare one that is every fucking bit as heinous as it sounds. OP’s summary is exactly what happened. There’s no other angle to it.

    No cop was in any danger they didn’t directly put themselves in, and even then…

    See the body cam footage, judge for yourself.

      I think they deliberately added that bullet time effect to make the event seem more dramatic than it was

    So thankful I managed to get out of this state. Of course, I’m still in the US, so not sure how much of an improvement I really made.

      I travel the Deep South several times a year. Alabama is a glorious, liberal paradise compared to Mississippi.

    Jesus christ. Fuck America.

    America is highly religious, right? So when does that whole country sink down to hell and not make an embarrassment out of humanity?
