You surround yourself among criminals firing on cops you've chosen to put yourself in the line of fire. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78562218 Apparently not actively protesting or looting at site Was feeding protesters AFTER protest ended Breaking: Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer just announced every single officers' body camera was NOT ACTIVATED during the shooting last night that resulted in DavidMcAtee’s death. Not one. The police claim they responded after being fired upon by a group of protestors. The people we have spoken with all said they weren't protesting, and the shot was fired by someone outside of the group who drove off. They say police then fired upon the group, killing David McAtee [link to twitter.com (secure)] |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 51752123 United States 06/01/2020 07:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | actually, looks like he didn't. collateral damage, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. . Shit like this happens when you have massive civil disturbances, that’s why there’s a curfew. It helps sort out the peaceful from those bent on mayhem. The group, including the chef, was violating the curfew during riots. Police and guardsmen have a right to return fire under such conditions, as the Fact that no one in the crowd had fired is immaterial - if they had not put themselves in harm’s way by violating the curfew, the beloved BBQ chef would be alive now. |

User ID: 2229693 United States 06/01/2020 07:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who would be out there except to riot or protest? Yet, the article says there was not an active protest going on, yet there was a crowd that had to be 'dispersed'. Guys, that's a double negative. Not only does that not make sense, it seems they are overly dramatizing this incident to get the most emotion from the reader. THIS is a hit piece. It should state plainly the facts but is ambiguous to point to any certainties. It's an open interpretation of the facts. First, they are deployed for a reason. Second, the job is self descriptive, they are soldiers. Third, unless you are one of the two, you should not be out there period. You're either a rioter or protester. Fourth, how do you tell someone who is a soldier and is trained to "not fall back on their training"? The point of "training" is so that they have fast reflexes to save their own ass. When you're fired upon, YOU.RETURN.FIRE. It's that simple. I think the guy was trying to be a participant of some type but not sure yet as to what he was trying to accomplish. Living has taught me one thing; nothing is certain...except salvation through Jesus Christ! |
