Yeah, right, the armed dude who is in a car chase with the police takes the time to lower his window, grab his gun and take a shot at... some pigeons on the sidewalk?!
In those instances, the cops were making these statements in the moment they unloaded on the victim. In this case right here, it was made several minutes before the death of Walker, at a time when it wasn't clear at all how this chase was gonna end, when it wasn't clear that the suspect would leave his car and get in a direct, pedestrian vs pedestrian confrontation with the cops.
Like I've said: your theory of the case would require the ludicrous assumption that bloodthirsty cops were strategically placing this made-up claim on radio to create deniability for the subsequent execution of Walker that they were already planning during the car chase.
i can't quite tell if you're genuinely that slow, or if you just don't want to admit that setting up a justification does neither mean that you
- actually have to go through with what we all know american police tend to do
- nor that you have to resort to the most extreme measure, a full execution by firing squad - could just as well have been rodney king'd...
even an authoritarian bootlicker like you should notice that the always same "reaching / resisting / fearing for my life" thing crops up every single time some bloke is murdered, no matter how obviously not true that was (which we, the sheltered white world, only REALLY learned through the proliferation of camera phones).
but nice job dodging how those white dudes that ACTUALLY murdered police were apprehended just fine, while the black dude, UNARMED, RUNNING AWAY, was shot 60+ times by those pigs...
