DOJ says police officer justified in killing 22 y/o over 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars. - eviltoast

An undercover police officer arranged to buy 2 magic mushroom chocolate bars over Instagram then opened fire within seconds, killing the driver and injuring the passenger for selling $100 worth of antidepressants. Perfectly justified.

    OP left out the part in the report where it says the officer fired after the car accelerated toward him.

    Because it’s an irrelevant lie.

    After is true but damning and toward is a lie. The officer is securely out of the way and any danger has passed when he opens fire. The driver is clearly trying to get away, and drives past the officer not at him.

    The ‘dodge’ the officer mentions is so small you can’t notice it in the bodycam footage. You see a side-step in the security cam footage, but the officer was clearly to the side of the victim’s car already at that point.

    I would like to see any video/dashcam.

    Both are in the link. 0:15-0:21 for the bodycam and 0:46 -0:51 for the security cam.

      Indeed, it’s pretty clear in the video, which is at the very top of the article, that the car didn’t accelerate at the shooter.
