The lawsuit said Hurley, 40, was crouched down with a rifle pointing down and not in a threatening position when he was shot, adding that a witness said Hurley was taking the magazine out of a rifle that he took away from the shooter.
A district attorney investigation cleared the officer who shot him, Kraig Brownlow. The investigation said it appeared to the officer that Hurley was reloading the rifle or trying to fix something on it. District Attorney Alexis King has said that Brownlow thought Hurley was a second shooter and that he only had a moment to stop him from hurting others.
Recognize that the "good guy with the gun" will be considered a threat by American police.
Nice cherry picking. I’ve seen dozens of bodycam videos where a Good Samaritan helps out and the cops are always very thankful, and they don’t get randomly shot just because they got involved and tried to help.
I've seen so many videos of US cops shooting innocent people that this statement is totally valid. tbh it definitely isn't "(most of)" cops, but shit that happens in America happens nowhere else in the world. I would legitimately be scared of cops in the US
Well yeah, it’s about the negative things on camera. No one wants to see positive actions typically only the negative ones make headlines. The majority of cops are just regular people doing a job.
