What incentive would the police have to murder a guy? What do you think is more likely, that the cops decided to murder some guy for cross dressing, or that this dude is so embarrassed that he got outed as a giga pervert who stalked local women and killed himself because everyone now knows
What a dumb comment. There is no evidence the police shot this guy, and all the evidence to suggest that he killed himself.
With the track record of the police, I’d say it’s a 50/50.
it’s a small Alabama town, might wanna rethink those odds
terminally online take
Brain dead take. Is your boyfriend a cop or something?
You know how you can look at people who say the government is trying to kill them and rightfully laugh at them as crazy? That’s how I feel about people who think a cop has a 50/50 chance of killing you in America

not sure what point you are trying to prove. A great majority of those people killed were armed. 8000 people is really not that much over an almost 10 year time span and all the justified shootings. You have 50x higher chance of dying in a car accident than dying by the hands of the police. That number because 300-500x if you are unarmed. The USA population is over 300m, this is a speck in the bigger picture.
No way to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly occurs lol.
The best way to not got shot by the police is don’t brandish a weapon and don’t try to escape arrest. If you don’t do either of those things, you have a < 0.000001% chance of getting shot. Absolutely microscopic amounts relative to the total population.
Dude it’s is human life your are talking about. Every death that could’ve be prevented, is a death to much. 8000 dead People is a lot of death. Especally if you compare it to countries like Germany, GB or Sweden, where the number of fataly shot people isn’t even in the hundreds in the same time frame.
In Germany about 60 people are shot per year by police, so that is well into the hundreds for the same time frame. In the united states, if you are not carrying a weapon, you have less than a 0.00001% chance of being shot by police. Obviously it’s better if no one got shot but let’s not overexaggerate the risk, like has been happening in this thread and is what I’m responding to.
Turn it around: He knew the police in his small town, do you think he expected them to make this roadside stop to help a recently outed queer person that did questionable things like fantasizing about killing a woman that everyone in town knows and becoming her by transitioning or uploading memes in a similar context with pictures belonging to real people to a porn website? I mean he knew them personally, I guess he knew their standing on queer, he might have felt threatened for a reason. I am not saying they shot him, just that he might have expected them to be everything but helpful.
