    It’s just what they are trained to do applied to a situation that makes it harder to ignore.

    They show up to an incident or make one, get “scared”, execute someone in a panic, and then tell the media whatever bullshit is necessary to make them sound like they are in the right. You literally cannot trust early coverage of incidents where police are involved because they lie to reporters like they breath, and idk why but they believe them every time.

    It doesn’t work as well when the person they executed was another cop. The best they can hope for then is “accident” but that excuse doesn’t cover up their incompetence.

      the last few years have taught me a very importantt lesson. If there’s one thing you can count on in America it’s this:

      • Should you one day be wrongfully shot by police, they will lie about how it happened, and drag your name through the mud if at all possible. No matter who you are, even if you are one of their own.
