Reply to comment by warb17 in D.C. police officer shoots, wounds man in Southeast Washington by warb17

> Presumably if this wrongfully shot man was "reaching" for something, it would've been a pipe

There's absolutely no reason to assume that. You assume that the officer was still looking for the original suspect, when it is entirely possible that he arrived at the scene and found a completely different incident.

> But we don't even know if he was reaching for anything or what the cop said, because cops lie all the time

This might shock you but criminals lie too! Except cops wear bodycams, so we'll see.

where would this conversation have gone? no one asking that question has an open mind because it has an obvious answer and doesn't serve any purpose but to regain rhetorical footing.

Do you think being acerbic towards strangers on the internet helps sway them towards your viewpoint in any way whatsoever?

let me help you out here with your reading comprehension. you said “we agree that cops lie” and yes, I agree. however, nowhere is the word “criminal” stated in that sentence.

now one more time, do you agree that criminals(the people causing the police response) lie as well?
