Illinois police release body-cam video of fatal shooting of Black woman in her home

Did anyone watch it? What is there to see?
A lady that called the cops for help was instead murdered in her kitchen by those cops.
So you did not watch the video? I just watched it and it looks a little more nuanced.
I’m quite certain you didn’t watch it or are as sub human as these cops are, there is no justification for this cold blooded murder.
I watched it. Seemed normal up until she, instead of grabbing her ID, picked up a pot of boiling water and said "I rebuke you in the name of Jesus" to which the cop said "You better fuckin not or I'll shoot you in the fuckin face" she then picked up the pot, didn't drop it, and they shot her.
She clearly said it as a joke, she was all scrambled and anxious, as evidenced by her trying to do like 4 things at once 60 seconds prior to
the shootingher murder. When talking to the deputy in person, their supervisor on the phone, getting her ID, getting her Insurance paperwork, and at this time the deputy asked her to remove the pot of boiling water from the stove. As she got it off the burner, she chuckles and asks why the officer is moving away from her. The officer chuckles as well, saying he's trying to get away from the steaming water. Then, out of fucking NOWHERE, the deputy unholsters his gun and points it at her, saying "he'll shoot her in the fucking face."Your interpretation is wrong, and I'm confident in labeling you an insufferable asshole.
Dawg, what? We're on the same side here. I tried to relay a neutral chain of events, and then linked the actual source so people could watch it for themselves. I don't know how I could have been more unbiased.
In no world am I supporting what was clearly an unnecessary 0-100 escalation of force. Your comment seems like a similar escalation of force, ironically.
I mean shit, there's no way they're in range of her heaving that water even if that were her intentions. She would have had to round the corner of her counter just to get within effective water tossing range, he had so much time to assess and not shoot and he shot like she had a gun aimed at him. Shameful cowardice.
You wrote the earlier comment as if she was in any way threatening.
She was not. These delulu pos cops just murdered her in cold blood.
I've known stimulant junkies who haven't slept for days who were less paranoid and jumpy.
It's crazy to me that even though fellow cops think his actions are inexcusable, hence the firing and murder charges, there's always another dolt in line ready to lick some boot.
Woman makes joke, cop reacts badly, woman is visibly scared for her life and ducks while apologizing, cop kills her in cold blood anyways despite having non-lethal options
Police, famous for protecting their own in murder cases, fire officer, saying "It is clear that the deputy did not act as trained or in accordance with our standards"
First-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm charges filed
Assholes on the internet still defending him
HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY THIS LEVEL OF BOOTLICKING WHAT THE FUCK??
"Muh daddee is uh cop."
I don't think she was even capable of throwing the water that far but I appreciate the link to the uncut video.
Why are so many people so crazy? Not just that lady and the police, also politicians etc., just so many all over the place.
