Watch the actual video. Dude pulls the gun and it bringing it around to shoot the kid. This is after the kid gets kicked in the head. The guy is also a convicted felon. I do believe what he did was straight up self defense.

Some Fediverse apps have ban lists within them for certain instances. This has been hugely controversial in Fediverse community, to the point where some apps that fork apps with ban lists and republish them without those ban lists, sometime

That's actually very disturbing considering the amount of misinformation over this incident, and that they're charging that kid for murder! Were you able to find the videos? They tell a pretty different story than the media narrat

Just watch both videos, in full, without interruptions. The prosecutor has released both official body cam videos and they're both ~30 min in length. If you're not willing to do the basic ground work, we can't have a reasonab

You didn't watch the FULL bodycam video did you? At one point the officer asks for the ETA on the ambulance. At another point Chavez says, "You need to calm down, you're going to give yourself a heart attack." He even of

Where the hell are unarmed police the norm other than the UK and NZ? I lived in NZ for three years and the police still had guns, just locked in the boot of their cars. Australian cops (lived there for 1 year) had firearms. Unarmed police a

I hated the police when I was younger and thought we'd be better with fewer police. I don't believe that anymore. The emergence of body cameras are amazing because they show just how bad we're constantly being lied to. YouTub
