Seems like you are more focused on giving that doubt to the officer than the boy who was shot.....
Lol, I go to the range to practice. You know where they put the targets on the dummies......not on the hands. Firearms are not nonlethal weapons, anyone with any training knows this. When you learn to shoot, you are always told to shoot center mass.
Any what evidence says he was pointing at building? A phone call from some random lady does not validate him shooting a child.
What if I randomly called the police on you and told them you pointed a gun at me, where would you like to be shot?
There is a big difference between eye witness testimony (i.e., remembering the facts and identifying people) and inaccuracies in reporting (I saw a car driving way too fast, I saw a person rob my grocery story, I saw a person shoot someone -- these aren't things people often get wrong).
That is semantic reasoning, there is no inherent difference between the two. Also, people file false police reports constantly.
Lol, like you don't have a condescending tone to your writing? The difference being is that your claims actually deserve condemnation.
I stated what was going on, and what my take on it was with the local context. Have a nice day. You're clearly not interested in an intelligent or otherwise nuanced conversion.
And I explained with nuance, just how ridiculous each of those takes were.
Lol, says the person who won't engage with criticism because they're not presented in a way that massages his ego. Convenient.
Stop the bullshit virtue signaling, your beliefs are more volatile than any criticism I've laid at your feet.
Especially considering the whole "you can fuck off" comment that you deleted. Coward.
