Republicunts when this gets on the news... "They felt threatened! She was MS-13 or could have been! This is cause Democrat commies love violent illegals! She was really a man!"

Fuck this. If you do so much as yell at a Republican they've shown they can claim self defense & get away with murder. I don't care if it is a cop or not, the only time anyone should be pointing a gun at someone else is if they have serious reason to believe that person poses a significant & immediate threat to their life or that of someone else, and only if the person they're defending is not a threat or able to respond with equal or greater force. The cops in this scenario were & are in fact the threats & should be dealt with in the same conditions by acting in self defense.
