“I went to hug him because he was upset, and next thing I know they just yelled ‘Jason!’ and they ‘pow, pow, pow, pow, pow,'” Odell said. “I about got shot. I felt the compressions of the bullets. It was horrible.”

    They absolutely did not, and it’s disingenuous to pretend that they did. From the article:

    neither “having a warrant for [his] arrest” nor “previously committing a crime” are a justification for shooting someone (especially not before they’ve actually been tried for the alleged crime they’re being arrested on) and i know for a fact you know that because committing a crime is not punished in any sane country by summary execution before trial. for someone throwing around the word “disingenuous”, you are very obviously ignoring the inconvenient circumstances of what you’re trying to defend in trying to run defense here for cops capitally punishing someone for no reason.

        i just want to point out: this is a really funny thing to say to someone who is literally an admin on the instance you’re on right now. i don’t mean to condescend here, genuinely, but maybe this instance is not for you if you find yourself doing this.
