Person handling that twitter needs media training
Fuuuuuuuuck off.
You sure have a lot of cops to be able to dispatch 20 or so officers for one person that loosely matched a description of a suspect.
Because Americans are dumb and don't understand how awful our country is. We're spoon fed how great we are... it's really quite pathetic.
There are so many better choices than the US. I love my country but it's a fucking awful place if you're poor or the wrong color or both.
Trust me, I make a point to suppress thinking about how fucked up our country is every day. The "police" are a bunch of corrupt, racist maggots that regularly harass and murder people. We're okay with the level of gun violence that has every other civilized country wondering wtf is going on. People die all the time because they can't afford healthcare. Children here aren't educated and are taught crazy things like evolution being fake or just "a theory." This country is a MESS.

fuck all cops, every single one

They are. They just don't care. And white America doesn't care to do anything but assume they're acting objectively either, so they get free reign.
You missed him using his static electricity powers to levitate all the cars in the area.
What can we do about this? It's clear that our police force is a bunch of racist bullies and has invested years of effort into ensuring that always remains the case. Does that our only recourse, as citizens, is via the courts? If so, is it impossible to effect actual systemic reform this way?
Dispatch: White shooter at District 249 High School.
Cops: Let's see how this plays out.
Fucking police make me sick to my stomach.
How is this an appropriate response? Fuck them all.
I hope the powers switch one day and these fucking bastards live in fear for the rest of their lives.

Fuck the police.
Yep, immediately saw this. Aims at her shortly, then realizing she probably shouldn't do that while being filmed. Fucking disgusting.
Is that a serious tweet referencing the female officer with the gun or a joke tweet about the woman holding a camera. Regardless, it's a horrible look for that department.
The police response to the scene (specifically the amount, and how many guns are drawn on a single person complying with empty hands) is absurd but it's true they don't know someone is actually unarmed until searched. The added comment is real shitty considering the subject matter and how many people die in this same circumstance.Person handling that twitter needs media training
American Gun culture to blame as usual, if it wasn't possible for just about everyone to be carrying a gun, then you wouldn't have such extreme responses, I'm not saying any of this is right, but this doesn't happen in other countries, the vast majority of the police here in the UK aren't even allowed to carry guns.
It's in reference to the shotgun-looking weapon that officer is carrying. That's the issue with less than lethal devices - cops tend to use them in place of deescalation.

I'd wonder if "loosely matching a description" is anything other than "Black male X height Y age" if I didn't already know the answer.

ie - not sure if suspect is unarmed until deceased's body can be searched.
They should change the country name to United States of White Supremacy. If you aren't white in that fucking shithole, you are a criminal.
The worst is when they fuck up and fire on someone that ends up being unarmed and they refuse to administer aid or just handcuff them and wait for EMS/backup/supervisor to show up. That's some inhuman shit.
"less lethal"
I assume this means it's still fucking lethal right?
The way they all calmly stroll over to arrest him at the end. That's all they had to do. The mind just boggles.
PD Press Release
Less lethal is the term used for stuff like tasers, bean bag guns etc. They can kill sometimes but designed to subdue.
fuck these pigs - the passive aggressive protocol of their Twitter manager matches the 'professionalism' of their officers...
jesus christ they spell the guy's name interchangeably as 'Ewell' and "Ewill" in the press release...
Wtfff they have the nerve to fucking respond like this for EVERYONE to see?!
That's 100% true.
The kid was 10 years old and just playing on the front lawn. Matches a "description" for these shit for brain cops is essentially the mentioned skin colour.
Always impressive the lengths folks go to blame anything but racism.
They don't give a shit and it's not like anyone can do anything about it either regardless of what people think.
In this case, it's being slugged in the chest with a bean bag or airfoil round. I can't find any numbers on the amount of deaths from those methods, but I did find this shit what the fuck
Dispatch: "SWAT team is now en route, you are cleared to engage the suspect with lethal force."
Cops: He seems confused why 30 armed men have surrounded him for simply crossing the street. Clearly its the dope. Get S.H.I.E.L.D in here to set up a containment field.
With the logic of "we can naturally assume that any citizen is armed to the teeth" cops can cite fear for their lives as reason to gun down jaywalkers and public urinators.
Even if dude did what the police are saying (and no, I don't trust them), on what planet does an army of cops need to be called in for a minor altercation? Fucking racist bastards, they hear "black male suspect" and their inner sadist turns on.
Honestly, every police department needs to be broken up and rebuilt from scratch, with EXTREME civilian oversight and BINDING disciplinary measures that do not rely on gameable internal investigations or gormless, cop-acquitting, lumpenmenschen juries.

"He looks to be raising his hands in surrender but I'm interpreting it as a threat. Opening fire, I repeat opening fire."
