Go cut yourself instead, no one uses "Edgy" outside of redditors and children trying to act better than adults.

I actually side with the cops on this one. The dude pulled out his gun first.
David Jones
I'm sorry, but is there some kind of chivalry code people need to follow before shooting policemen? Do we need to issue challenge, ensure that police gets a good chance to shoot at us, that we are not outgunning, nor outnumbering them?
You sound reactionary as fuck. This is not some "fair" competition. Neither side follows rules and either would use all powers, all dirty tricks to subjugate and/or destroy the other one.
P.s. note that I am using word "reactionary" correctly here (unlike in overwhelming majority of cases when people just label everything they don't like as "reactionary").

Was this guy even a radical or anything though? It didn't seem like he initially had any intent to shoot the cops. It looks to me like he panicked and pulled the gun. Guns don't magically imbue a person with operator skills. If it's you on the ground limply pulling a pistol vs a couple of trained cops with guns, you're gonna get rolled.
The weird part is it seemed like he drew because he was so afraid of being arrested? Arresting him looked like bullshit, but they weren't using anything close to lethal force. There was a time when any decent activist expected to get arrested. Looking at his options in this scenario, pulling the gun was pretty much the worst choice he could have made, especially since he waited to do it when he was in the worst position to actually use the thing.
RIP and fuck the police but this is kind of like lambasting people who use land mines after a drunk idiot deliberately steps on one to see what happens. You're not wrong but are you seriously going to overlook the victim's stupid behavior that led to a preventable result?

I think the topic had changed. What exactly are we discussing now? Inefficiency at shooting police first, or being terrified of police?
I can't accuse someone of being untrained. Nor can I fault people for being terrified of police. Especially, American police:
- it is being increasingly militarized
- it consistently uses excessive violence (and it uses it often),
- attitude of mass-media to the victims of police cannot be called anything but open "hate speech",
- policemen themselves demonstrate behaviour and mentality similar to the ones gangsters have, they just avoid punishment for their crimes and can use justice system to make people end up in prison (or dead) for personal reasons
Drawing gun at police today is perfectly natural response. They are becoming indistinguishable from legal mafia.
Will you fault a man for freaking and resorting to violence when mafia attempts to kidnap him? Will you tell that he should've surrendered, as they might've not killed him later? No. This might've not been the smartest move, but it is reasonable move. The same logic applies here. Sure, the dude freaked out. But he had a right to freak out.
Also, it is fucking rich that I ended up educating anarchist on why police aren't good guys.

I like how Zig Forums was trying to meme this to Edgelords like "This is the best a LibTard School shooter can do"
Um excuse me hunny we already have our apeshit psychopath(s)

Where did I say the police are good guys? I said that having a gun and trying to use it despite not being able to do it effectively is predictably going to get you killed. What would your response be to the situation if the cops were replaced with NKVD?

…I mean, there's that entire first sentence they typed.
This whole thread was created as a far-right bootlicking shitshow. There is no evidence, for instance, that a male presenting male who impregnated a female is trans, nor is there any legitimacy to the notion that just shooting folks that you think are trans is somehow a good idea. But, the thread is that and cop bootlicking.
The evidence suggests to me that the call by the school was a hoax in support of a premeditated murder attempt.
I mean, his job was legal aid to anarchist prisoners…
~shrug~ In any case, FTP, right or wrong.

OP could've just said "I suck dicks" and avoided this mess
Hunter Howard
I doubt the cops would have shot him. If he was black I honestly wouldn't side with the cops. But in this example the cops were probably acting in self defence.
