    “OH shit, Bobby shot some bystanders. We better say there was a reason we were shooting other than he was running away.”

    “He had a knife! That’s the ticket!”

    No knife found. Just typical police bullshit.

      There’s body camera footage, and multiple eyewitnesses, do you really think they’re going to make up a knife?

        Are you this naive about everything or do you just especially like sucking on the Blue?

        Of course, they’ll lie that they saw a knife even though there’s a video. “I swear I thought I saw one and I had to act.” Csuse you know the video isn’t going to back them up.

        Even if the guy had a knife, that doesn’t justify shooting into a crowd. Oh shit, there is a violent criminal in NYC. We better nuke it to make sure the criminal doesn’t get away.

            Not really. Cops have lied and planted items even when video records are available. They’ll even shoot your dog for simply barking, then claim it lunged at them.

            Maybe go watch bystander videos and not just watch what ever CNN or fox News or what ever Copaganda you like.

        There’s body cam footage of Tyreek handing the cops his license and the police turned around and said “he was refusing to identify himself.”

        So, yeah, I fucking do.
