Wait, you mean those Jan 6ers aren't upstanding citizens? What a surprise...
- Not like you have to be a criminal to get shot by the police in the US...
  
  It doesn't help though.
- Terrorist killed by police.
  
  Terrorist killed by terrorists

Died doing what he loved
- I dunno why but this comment was the one that made me burst out laughing.

Just have Trump pardon the bullet out of him.

ACA still B, though, even if in this particular case the victim was a terrorist.
Fascists should be getting shot because they're fascists, not because cops are violent incompetent bastards who indiscriminately murder people without consequence.
- This is a case of classic fascist friendly fire.
  
  New out-group just dropped
- Just fash shooting at fash.
- Being a B is not a binary situation. There are levels. Both can be Bs on different levels.

On the one hand, the usual American Police Brutality. On the other hand, one Trump-loving criminal less on the street.

A pardoned domestic terrorist with a gun and a problem with law enforcement? What could go wrong?
Here's to hoping for another 1500 "justice by traffic stops."
- I’d rather they get educated/rehabbed.
  Especially since the people with actual power and greater culpability have only gained from the constant stream of lies that led them to believe this was okay.
  
  America does not rehabilitate prisoners. The U.S. prison system is entirely about retribution. So that was never going to happen.

Have none of you any empathy? What about the feelings of this cop who had to shoot one of his brothers because the cameras were on, did you think about that?
- I have a feeling cops would shoot each other all the time if they thought they could. Especially if it's a white cop shooting a black cop. The whole "brotherhood" thing is performative. I've had the misfortune of doing ride-alongs with cops working for a local TV station. They can't wait to tell you how all the other cops suck.
  
  Here in St Louis they just shoot each other for fun
  St. Louis officer gets 7 years for killing female colleague while playing Russian roulette
  
  I used to regularly visit a kava bar that happened to become a hang out spot for cops and military people. Honestly they didn't seem that bad. One guy would come in every day for a kratom we'd take shells together. He played Slay the Spire on his switch, would ask for tips cause he kinda sucked.
  Really they take easily impressionable young men and through the system mold them into something toxic. We become the roles we play. Shakespeare or something
  
  Not to sound like I'm defending them but are you sure it wasn't just workplace gossip tier stuff?
- Thanks to lifelong mental illness I only started developing more than a marginal sense of real empathy in my 30s, and it's an extremely limited resource. So unfortunately I don't have any to spare for the police.
  I'm still working on my natural tendancy to paint with a broad brush, which is more than I can say about the cops.
- I've heard it's a sin
- That cop probably just didn't have enough PVD to get the day off to go themselves.

Oh noes!!
Anyways.

It’s almost as though his supporters are a bunch of violent extremists.
- But. If that were true, why would the incoming president pardon them!?

Wow. I literally don't care at all. It's sad but it's true.

"Yes, I am untouchable, the cops can't do jack sh---"
- "I know my ri-"
  
  Should have spent more time reflecting on his wrongs I guess

One down.

Good. One less piece of trash in the country
- fewer
  
  One less piece of fewer in the country.

I guess this is the kind of shit that happens when you ask the Monkey's Paw to be pardoned on your last wish...

He shouldn't have resisted

What's that? If you don't want to get shot by a cop, just comply? /s
- Applies in this case without the /s. He got shot while resisting arrest while armed, odds are had he complied (and thus not resisted arrest) he probably wouldn't have been shot.

Here's to every single one of them meeting a similar end very, very soon.

Leaving a comment here to look back when there is body cam footage and/or more details.
The fact that this person participated in an insurrection does not excuse a killing by police or give me joy in the outcome.
- I just see it as the trash taking itself out.
  It's a tragedy when police abuse their power to kill, but at least he took out a shameless MAGA terrorist instead of it being a "Code 1488", that's Police Jargon for "Having to use deadly force on another black man minding his own business."
  ~~Some~~ ALL of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses!

Hahaha, oopsie poopsie

He would still be alive if he was still in jail
- He was only sentenced to six months. He’d be dead anyway.
  
  Oh that's good

Oh so these guys supported Trump after all? Whatever happened to them being Antifa and BLM?
- trump pardoned all the antifas and made it terrorism at the same time

That's a good start, but we have to speed up that pace.

I don't feel good that this was my reaction, but I stand by it:

Guess his fat orange lord and savior couldn't be bothered

Hmm, interesting.
So I had Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes tonight. Anybody else have anything good?
- I grabbed fast food and ate in the car. It's the saddest dinner I'll have this week but I do it every Monday so I'll have enough time to shower and play with my dog for a bit between getting home from work and my weekly D&D game.
  
  It's only sad if you make it sad. Make it a pregame ritual and get pumped!
- I made some pork tenderloin recently. Came out a little dry even though I took it out right as it got 150° unfortunately, but it's still good if you put the juices over it before eating.
  
  My grandpa made really good tenderloins, added lemon pepper with a squeeze of lemon. So good. It's one of his recipes I never got out of him. :(
- I made a vegetable stock from scratch with onions, garlic, carotts, parsnip, olive oil, salt and pepper, added a potato for the texture and once done completed it with cream, sour cream, mushrooms and green peas.
  Finally I added some carob gum, because it was intended to be served as sauce rather than soup.
  The side order was basmati rice.
  Can't say that I was disappointed.
  
  I had a few gluten free Oreo cookies.
  
  Did you make it from scratch?
- I'm doing steaks myself, but I ended up a little short on cook time so they are a little tough.
- I tried making hamburgers with ground goat, just for the hell of it. They were surprisingly good, the meat was too lean for a good hamburger though.
  
  Try it again with added fat, maybe?
- Did you make it from scratch?
  
  Yeah, and if I'm being totally honest, it's not as good as banquet lol
  Edit: the Salisbury steak, I mean. The mashed potatoes are WAY better.

When Trump sent his mob of terrorists into the Capitol building to stop Democracy, he wasn't sending his best and brightest.
- I mean, he was. Those are his best and brightest.

Probably wasn't an accident. The Police Unions have been pissed at Trump letting these guys go, I wouldn't be surprised to hear they had their own "Second Amendment Solution"

If it were just another black dude who got shot "because he had a gun", I'd doubt the word of the police about that. But this guy? I'm almost certain he had a gun and made some move that would have raised reasonable suspicion that he was intending to use it. Because those are the sorts of people who when to Jan 6.
- Eh from what I hear the Police Union has been up Trump's ass about the people he's been pardoning.
  I wouldn't be surprised to hear they've been internally calling these guys "Cop Killers" and being instructed to give them the "Fine Ol' Solution" if ya know what I mean. Police Union is crooked as hell.

In 2023, Huttle was sentenced to six months in federal prison and a year of supervised release for taking part in the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
back to being a riot again is it

Hope he's somewhere hot right now.

That's one.

its just the spiderman meme except they have guns

- Hey you should never celebrate cops killing somebody who...
  Oh? You mean the Jan 6 terrorists who literally attacked cops and then got presidential pardons? Those guys?
  Oh yeah okay then.

hahahahahahhahahahahaha.

Gosh, that's....

Police violence is still Police violence even when it's against insurrectionists. I don't know the exact details here, but if it's like previous police shootings, there was probably a less violent solution.
- Very probably, but you need to also remember that the guy who was killed was almost certainly a big proponent of police violence. He was certainly a big proponent of violence overall.
  As the saying goes: live by the sword, die by the sword.
  I'm not going to praise the cops, but I don't have any sympathy for this terrorist.
  
  Thank you for making me imagine a traffic stop ending in a sword fight.
- Sure! How about the actual punishment for treason instead.
- I don’t know the exact details here, but if it’s like previous police shootings, there was probably a less violent solution.
  Armed man resisting arrest? Maybe, but presuming "just let him go" doesn't count all of them are going to be considerably more dangerous for the officer and any bystanders.

should've just complied....

I'll cry in a while(1), thanks for reporting this.
(1) or not... but not because of this.

Well if Trump is the MAGA Jesus, I wanna see him bring this guy back to life. Pardon him from death.

Trump directly killed this man, if he didn't pardon him then none of this would have happened.....

Some gifts just wrap themselves, don’t they?

Pizzagate shooter met his end the same way just a few weeks ago. Are their cops who actually want justice?
- No, it's just that the insurrectionists hate authority, and cops shoot people that don't bend the knee. Or they just shoot people regardless.
  
  Not that they hate authority so much as they believe they deserve to be on the inside/protected/oppressor class. They hate being held accountable for anything.

Get rekt

No body cam video?

More please

Good.

You want the definition of mixed emotions?
It used to be your mother-in-law driving over a cliff in your new sports car. Now it’s a cop shooting a J6’er for resisting arrest.

Good.

Insert riker trombone

Death by stupidide

Why in the fuck are we suddenly cheering extrajudicial killing just because, for once, it wasn't someone from our side?
... Oh, yeah okay, it wasn't someone from our side. For once.
- Play stupid games; win stupid prizes. He had a gun and resisted arrest. They're the ones who promoted this society and tough guy police in the first place. People see some poetic karma.
  Sorry bud, I'm not losing sleep over this one.
  
  FAFO is the new ACAB, got it.
  
  Me neither. Doesn't mean it should be celebrated.
- Nah. It's because justice was subverted and karma came in with steel chair to correct things.
  Pardons used to be used (usually) terribly to forgive rich assholes who made large campaign contributions... that was awful and I hate it.
  In this case the recipients literally tried to overthrow the government... it's beyond the fucking pale.
  I think that pardons are a terrible tool - if there is injustice that needs correction it should be done within the system so that everyone can benefit. Pardons, in their best use, just correct individual injustices while leaving the unjust system that caused the issue unaffected.
- The same reason we cheered when Luigi (allegedly) shot the UH CEO.
  Some people make the world a better place by leaving it.
  
  I'm not weeping over this asshole dying, it's just tough to cheer for vigilante justice when... well, when its the police doing it.
- I agree, arrest the cop too.
- Have you ever heard the saying
  ""I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
  Happy to have read about this one :)
  
  IDGAF about this guy dying, good riddance, but I do care that so many people in this thread are openly cheering the cops having killed him. I'm aware of the irony, I just think the sheer amount of bloodlust on display here is pretty concerning. Do people think the cops like... meant to do this? They're just going to keep killing us, but they screwed up and got one of their guys this time.
- Because the judicial system has failed categorically. The only people getting beaten down by it are "on our side", that kinda means extrajudicial means of justice are the only ones left.
  Unrelated, but what do boots taste like? Are they as leathery as id imagine, or more earthy?
  
  So you're... wait, are you praising the cops here?
- extrajudicial killing
  What the fuck are you talking about? He was killed by a on-duty cop while resisting arrest. It’s not like The Punisher showed up and executed him. There is literally nothing extrajudicial about it. By definition.
  
  I think you might be misremembering what the term means.
  Out of or beyond the power authority of a court or judge; beyond jurisdiction; not valid as a part of a judicial proceeding
  This is very much an extrajudicial killing. Justified sure, apparently. I'm pretty uncomfortable with how willing this community is to parrot the Blue Lives Matter talking points, though that's whatever. I understand the need people have for vindictive pleasure, and I sure hope that's all this is.
