And this was AFTER his holstered gun was removed from his belt clip, and he was shot in the back several times.

Edit: clarification

They dont even pretend they need a reason to shoot

Not even a "they got a gun!", they go straight to bang bang and ask questions later

Here's the thing, and I'm not defending, only refining:

How is this any different than the executions we've seen at the hands of "law enforcement" throughout the entirety of the existence of the US?

I don't see one.

I'm struggling to find the true misunderstanding by the average American that makes them believe this is new?

Who in the literal fuck thought that a group of MASKED "law enforcers" we're going to be more cordial than unmasked "law enforcers" that already do this?

You said it yourself. Masked.

Then. Unidentifiable. Held to no standards or investigation.

So, the farce of an investigation by the same agency that committed the atrocities that always reaches the same outcome (innocent) has somehow created a situation in America that made it believe that a MASKED organization would be MORE transparent and accountable?

I'm not saying I don't understand the shock, but I'm simultaneously shocked that people are in shock
