He had a knife… on a stick.

I’ll need to see the video on this one, officers, but for now, mark me as damned skeptical that this killing was self-defense.

    My favorite thing about you making dumbass comments all over the place in this post is you obviously haven’t even read the article lmao.

    You don’t even know if what your saying has anything to do with the situation. You have no idea what even happened.

      Yeah, that’s why I was careful when writing my own. The article only gives a vague description of what happened. Even then, most of those descriptions come from people who need their actions to look justified, so they don’t lose their jobs or face charges.

        Yeah, that’s the truth. We don’t know the truth, except that someone’s dead. Won’t know the truth until the cops share the video, if they do.

      He said officers tried to calm Mora down before twice using a Taser on him. They then fired beanbag rounds before ultimately killing him, the man said.

      Would you look at that, turns out they did.
