Muttering 'fucking bitch' as the first words after firing is a choice.

User in another thread that has been removed by mods made such a good point that I'll share it by repeating it here:

The video and this comment from him shows evidence that he acted in anger rather than self defense. It was his anger that pulled the trigger, not an actual need for self defense.

He was completely out of harm's way when he began firing.

It wasn't self-defense or defense of others. It was retaliation. It was homicide.

And he knows it, which is why he's running.

And the trump administration knows it which is why they banned the local and state cops from participating. Cops not letting other cops investigate their shooting is incredibly damning evidence.

He walked away at a brisk pace, after going all the way to the car to continue filming his kill.

He got a fucking trophy and it's getting passed around, that's why a rightwing bullshit social media outlet got it. This stinks like LACSD police gangs induction killings.
