I think you hit on an important point. People, especially conservatives imo, are super willing to not question something if they want to believe it. The confirmation bias is so strong it trumps morality most of the time. I think confirmation bias has gotten worse specifically because of the Internet. Algorithms feeding you constant validation has led to self righteousness levels that are off the chart.

Having said all this, I am baffled that anyone can see something like this and not even question it. I think it is remotely possible the cop feared he could be hit for a brief moment, but that doesn't justify murdering a person obviously. I think he fired at least a couple seconds after that moment.

But here we are. The Shitter thread I saw where the close-up video was posted was absolutely loaded with morons commenting with certainty that the murderer did the right thing. The absolute strongest position anyone should have in favor of the fascist should be "I think it was justified". But no, they're 100% certain after 5 seconds of viewing the post. Society is sick, and the disease is mostly conservative politics.
