    The dude on the left did, the guy who’s arm is in the pic seemed pretty fucked up about it.

      He also seemed to warn the murderer that his body cam was on (“I’m on, I’m on!!), although too late obviously. He was probably freaked out about that too.

      seemed pretty fucked up about it.

      So did Heinrich Himmler when he personally witnessed one of his self-created mass-murders at Babi Yar in 1941 - not coincidentally, a mass-murder that was mostly perpetrated by bog-standard German police.

      It’s almost like the institution of police was invented from the ground up to act as a kind of filter to concentrate the most venal and vile humanity has to offer and then arm and train them to carry out atrocity after atrocity at the beck and call of whoever is in power.

      So I don’t care if they are “pretty fucked up about it” - the only good pig is a dead one.

      Good catch! Sorry, but I kinda had to psych myself up to really watch this video carefully. But also, fuck him for not de-escalating the situation. He pulled his gun on Massey too, reinforcing his partner’s belief that she was a threat.

      And also just generally fuck him for being a cop and showing up to work that day. IMO the rest of my comment stands.

      Good. Hope this moment lives with him the rest of his life.
