So say the pigeons who created elaborate pseudo religious rituals to be given food.

a conviction here is not proof at all that riots are needed for a conviction, that's simply confirmation bias at play.

It's pretty evident that they want to get the whole topic out of the news cycle as quick as possible. Dragging it out would only lead to tensions running even higher and/or even more riots.

Actually lol'd

(Oh you mean the judge, not the media themselves)

If you see news about Chicago police shooting and killing 13 year old Adam Toledo, I implore you not to watch the body camera footage released today. I'm crying as I type this. They lied and said he pointed a gun at them. His hands were up.

Yes, I obviously meant the police/law enforcement/city hall, not the media.

this cant be true, guns are outlawed in Chicago.

that cop is scum. tells him to show his hands, he does and blows him away anyways.

at this point you are hard pressed to defend any cop action against people with the trio of footage events we have seen this past week (soldier pulled over, shooting in MN, now this one). you’d think there would be some sort of directive saying DO NOT SHOOT UNLESS SHOT AT but nah

After watching it in slow motion, Toledo was turning around and abruptly raising his hands; with his right hand coming from his hip region and being held in a straight line, so that it looked for a split second like he had pulled a gun. The incident looks a lot like the finale from the Gran Torino movie. Also, the footage shows a real gun lying 2 meters away, behind the fence. Could have been deposited by Toledo or someone else, or he threw it away moments before being shot.

All in all, I would not say it was cold-blooded murder. Nonetheless, even if the cop was thinking that Toledo had pulled a gun, the shot still came way early. The cop was definitely trigger-happy and nervous, and was willing to kill a 13 year old kid rather than giving him at least a minimal amount of benefit of the doubt, all just to minimize his own risk to absolute zero. Could easily have waited another 0.5 seconds to see if the kid has really pulled a gun.
