It's amusing to me that when r/onguardforthee talked about this story, there wasn't a single poster who suggested that this was police brutality. When a police officer kills a white man, "oh it must have been justified self-defense. This was suicide by cop bro." And it probably was justified self-defense on the cops' part. We can't know one way or another unless there's video footage of the incident. But if this man were a "BIPOC" (I hate this term), you damn well know that radlibs would be raising a stink about this even when there is evidence that proves that the civilian being shot was threatening a police officer (ie. Rayshard Brooks).
