I will. I in no way justify the cops and I think it's a tradegy. I also think the headline was knowingly misleading, hence I thought I'd provide some context. I don't know all the details and neither do you, so we can only speculate, but IMO she was too reckless and put her child in danger, knowing how dangerous it is to run from cops in America. In no way do I support the American police system. I'm also not a 100 % Marxist if it makes any difference.

    you blamed the victim of a hate crime. This mother did not endanger her child the fucking police did by shooting at her. People who think like you make me sick and you got a lot to unpack

    People like you don't make me sick, just uncomfortable because it's impossible to have a normal conversation with you. You're just putting labels on everyone you disagree with, like you calling me racist when I never even mentioned race, never even thought of it. I'm not part of your culture, I have no reason to be racist towards black people. There are thousands of cases when the police shot white people in US doing dumb shit and even "because they felt threatened". And you're not calling it hate crime. Maybe the cop in question was racist, I don't know. I'm just saying there's more to the story, that's all. And judging people over a comment on the internet, I'm sorry, but maybe I'm not the one with "a lot to unpack"
