Justified shooting!! I know there's another topic, but I can't find it. Anyway New evidence shows some stuff. Thanks Tomo News you're the best.



Also, to be fair afro samurai is a terrible anime so maybe he deserved to get shot for that terrible cosplay.

dunno what to feel about this. the cosplayer is at fault in here but they didn't have to finish him off when he is running away. they could just demand him to drop his katana when he is fleeing

So he was shot for being black after all? I'm not going to google for a source that should have been posted in the OP.

Whatever, they're both terrible cos play choices.

The source is Tomo News. It's the video, they posted every video of him that was available and added some sweet CGI too.

Murican cops as usual. Okay, he ran but did he hurt anyone? Why not cap him in the leg so he can't run? Looks like they're letting anyone become police these days. Thank god I don't live in that shit hole

I have to agree, he was already wounded and running for his life it seems. Though at the very least, the cops will be required to attend additional training. Maybe it'll get them less trigger happy.

The video stated the cosplayer was still brandishing the sword (or that he appeared to have been) as he was running away, so maybe the cops felt that he was still a threat to the community. If that's the case, I can understand why they felt the need to keep shooting.

That's a possibility at least, I'm not justifying the cops' actions of killing the dude. They probably could have just shot at his legs or something to incapacitate him.

"I wonder what cops will think if I swing this katana around outside where lots of people are...whatever, let's do it"
*gets shot*
"I don't know what I was expecting"

Cops need to chill out after the target is incapacitated, though. They often unnecessarily put more bullets in their targets after they hit the floor.

It's his own fault for getting shot. How can he call himself a cosplayer if he can't even deflect bullets!
"I once heard my upstairs neighbors having sex so i rubbed one out and it was the best ever. But the next day I was leaving for work and there was an ambulance taking away an old dead guy. Turns out it was him dying of a heart attack upstairs."

This is what I'm saying! What kind of cos play ninja are you when you can't even cut a bullet in half with your fake sword. But his run was very anime style, I liked his long legs flapping around.

Donutpigs are liars. They probably just said that he presented immediate danger and may have endangered others if he ran away. That's all the justification needed for the pigs to unload a clip in a man's back.

lolwut justified shooting? there was no proof he was swinging his weapon. i guess if it were an actual weapon that could cut and pierce thing that'd give the officers suspicion but why do you need to shoot him four times in the back when you could have shot the leg or something? although the cosplayer running away didn't help his case at all... made him seem more guilty

because police officers are not trained to shoot to maim. that's not a thing. 'just shoot him in the leg' is a movie thing. it's also a leg, and the probability of missing it is much higher. the same goes for arms as well. they only have a revolver.

i wish people really wouldn't apply movie logic and understanding to real life sometimes.

Sounds like bullshit, hows there a photo of him talking to the cops and then no footage of when he attacks the cops and then cuts to footage of him running away and getting shot to death.
Did any witnesses except the cops see him attack the cops?

someone snapped a random shot while passing by, it could have been from a dash cam or even just because they recognised the cosplay. the video footage is from a security camera.

As long as weapons are readily available and poorly controlled by the American police force this will happen all the time. It's not even surprising anymore, I just feel sorry for them.

Me too, that was a terrible quality sword he had. He could have got a really nice one. And the shirt? it's like he wasn't even making an effort.
