Apparently the man’s hat blew into the roadway and the officer shot when said man ran to grab it.
So why is OP saying the man was executed and meanwhile the article is stating that not a single person was hit by the bullet?
Well there was intent to execute, but yeah, I'm with ya.
The important thing is that he missed!
/s
Hey look, it is the natural outcome of training police to assume everyone is armed armed and out to get them.
Exactly. Guy was so jumpy he mistook a man running after his hat for an armed shooter. That's baked-in paranoia if I've ever seen it.
"Cops are can tell if you're intoxcitated without tests."
Mother fuckers can't even tell if a person is a threat to their life despite showing no hostile intention, weapon or anything but cooperation.
Sure they can. Anyone without an assigned police badge is a threat. That's all they need to know.
Lmao
"He fell to the ground but was not hit by the bullet. The shot hits a passing vehicle but doesn't injure anyone."
He even missed point blank
‘suspended without pay’ Holy crap this should mean he can’t ever have a gun or be a cop again
