    Are you stupid enough to think that he absolutely had a gun just because they made no statement either way? Their son was just murdered you asshat.

      I’m smart enough to know that there is body camera footage of the incident and the family has already seen it and I similarly know that with the climate in the USA if the footage showed no gun and nothing to support the officers beliefs then we’d already be fucking rioting.

      Making shit up without having evidence is tantamount to lying. It’s disinformation regardless of if it fits your world view.

        You have implied throughout this thread that no statement from the family means he had a gun. That is also a bullshit lying accusation.

          Oh my god this is insanity.

          The police claim he had a gun, they claim he pointed it and that was the impetus.

          The family has not refuted this claim. Maybe they will, they haven’t yet.

          As it stands this is what we KNOW.

          Making claims one way or the other without any credible evidence is called making shit up.

          I’m not making anything up by pointing out that your claim is pulled out of the air, that’s all it is. The family hasn’t said he didn’t have a gun, the cops say he did. People in this thread do not know one way or the other so making claims is ridiculous.
