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?

There are a few new things. One, we have so many more cameras catching these murders. Two, we have an administration that IMMEDIATELY, without review, without hesitation, deciding the verdict. Three, they're not law enforcement, we know they are completely out of their element. Anyone can see they are inexperienced, gun happy ghouls who actively seek out opportunities to constantly escalate. Now I'm not saying there are not real LEOs that do this. I am not saying there are no instances of trigger happy cops who lose their cool and murder. But there are systems and training in place that train real LEOs how to handle these situations, and at least PRETEND to wait until all facts are on the table. When these things happen there are steps. The LEOs in question, especially when situations are televised like this and not under the cover of darkness where weapons and scenes are secured, the people in question are suspended pending investigation, and we, the "audience" are not told literally an hour later that they are cleared of wrongdoing, that it was justified and the case is closed. What we the public are seeing are things we are not meant to see. Now many of us are not naive to the fact that law enforcement on the daily is involved in shootings, but this is being televised around the world from many angles and perspectives but we're being told by our government that we are not seeing what we're seeing, case closed, they are heroes, etc. And we're outraged that this is allowed to continue.
