This headline makes it sound like the police just rolled up and shot some random dude for no reason, which is disingenuous

“He [Jason] just took his dad out and put him in the car [hearse], carried the casket out, and he came over and I was hugging him, and next thing I know, somebody yelled ‘Jason!’ and then, you know, ‘boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,'” Odell said. “He didn’t have a chance to do nothing.”

Odell said she was hugging Jason when he was shot.
