Two years after an attacker shot five volunteers before a Black Lives Matter march in Portland, Oregon, killing a 60-year-old woman and leaving one of her young friends paralyzed, a new visual investigation of the attack reveals that the assailant tried to provoke a stand-your-ground situation, daring three women to fight him, before suddenly opening fire when they refused.

    Yep.

    I remember before the era where we all had high-def cameras in our pocket, and how many middle class white people would always say “Well he must have done something to deserve that, police just wouldnt hurt/kill/etc someone for no reason!”

    and guess what? They do! We have innumerable videos proving just that thanks to the prevelence of pocket cameras. Cause Cops are fearful tyrants that leap to lethal force in half a second over nothing, and will unashamedly beat the shit out of someone if they feel disrespected… all while blatantly lying and falsifying their paperwork… because Cops are tiny tin pot tyrants running their own personal fiefdoms, complete with all the protections and immunities such positions of rulership bring.
