Hold on. An unarmed person standing up an even yelling or walking towards the cop it's still clearly not a serious threat and would not justify shooting in most "first" countries!
Let's not normalize the idea of "extreme self defence".
- riffraff 9y agoI didn't mean to imply it'd be "justified" in a legal or moral sense to shoot someone because one feels threatened. But I can imagine being scared shitless and pulling the trigger because of a sudden perceived threat, which is why this video felt shocking to me. I obviously don't see why the shooter thought shooting was reasonable, but I also cannot imagine why he felt so threatened to be forced to shoot.
