What are they referencing in the first instance?
If it's the subway thing, I'm pretty sure you need four people to be a mass shooting.
Also don't pull knives on cops.
You could always try less than lethal weapons, like a Taser.
Oh wait, they did. Twice.
You could let the asshole go and not be a murderer
So he can threaten someone else with a knife? That dude was a time bomb.
Yeah someone could get killed if he got away! Oh wait ...
Wild that people would suggest that if someone threatens the police with a knife they should decide to let them go.
Andy they would be screaming if he then proceeded to attack someone else.
Yeah, the intention is just to divide people.
Assume much?
I don't think objecting to police brutality and summary execution is authoritarian. That's more like the opposite.
Yes, of course that's not authoritarian, but it is probably authoritarian propaganda.
What is your deal, Atlantic Council warrior 😂
A good reminder of the effort I've put in fighting authoritarian propaganda, thanks.
Did they wind up finding the knife? Last I heard they weren't able to, which cast doubt on its existence.
If the dude was threatening the cops with a knife there's no way they would have let the knife out of their sight. I doubt there ever was a knife, and if there ever was it sounds like they abandoned the weapon to go kill the guy.
and even more importantly: always believe whatever the cops say! :)
