So if you actually read the article, that guy was shot because he ignored verbal instruction to return to the sidewalk, physically resisted being physically directed back to the sidewalk, and eventually tried to wrestle the cop’s gun out of his holster. This happened over a 12 minute span captured on multiple devices.
This fucking race-baiting sensationalist headline would have you believe cops saw a black guy jaywalking and just immediately opened fire because they’re just that racist apparently.

The cops knew that they were going to escalate the situation from before the encounter ever started.
