He had a knife... on a stick. I'll need to see the video on this one, officers, but for now, mark me as damned skeptical that this killing was self-defense.
[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago* He had a knife taped to a stick. They put numbered him. They could have done a lot more than just kill him. We don't have video anyways to know exactly what happened. None of the officers were wearing body cameras. permalink fedilink source parent
