Nice bullshit headline that implies the cops are just so racist (gotta be sure they mention the jaywalker’s race, right?) that they saw a black guy jaywalking and just decided to gun him down for it. Meanwhile, from a better article:
At some point during the struggle, Reinhold grabbed hold of Israel’s gun in its holster. Duran shot Reinhold twice after he continued to resist arrest and kept his grip on the gun, prosecutors said.
The deputies gave voluntary statements to investigators that were corroborated by surveillance video, witnesses and forensic evidence, the letter said.
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.

Gee, not so cut and dry after all, huh?
Yes, it is cut and dry that they were planning on doing something horrible and using the jaywalking as an excuse to start the encounter.
I see you deleted your other bootlicking comment and replaced it with this one. Feel free to keep trying, bootlicker.

The cops knew that they were going to escalate the situation from before the encounter ever started.
That’s someone being shot for being black. Were there no jaywalking law, the cops would have found another excuse
