    You don’t mag dump like that if you don’t care. He very much was trying to kill him.

        Would just be an idiot and a coward trying to kill a man.

          I am not saying he definitely wasn’t trying to kill Mr. Jackson intentionally. I’m saying that the other possibility is that he’s a stupid coward that empties his clip at his own car because he’s terrified and doesn’t think about and/or care that there’s a person in his car.

          Was he intending to kill Mr. Jackson? Maybe. That’s definitely not an unlikely possibility. But I think stupid cowardice where the motive wasn’t murder is also not unlikely because cops are stupid cowards.

            I got ya. I’m agreeing that he’s a coward and an idiot, but disagreeing that he might not have been trying to murder a guy. He might not have believed it was murder, because of the idiot part…but the video convinced me he was intentionally trying to kill the unarmed man in the back of his car.

          … who’s handcuffed in your backseat.

          The utter stupidity of cops astounds me daily. One would think I’d be used to it now, and yet …

          Pretty much. Did he have a clean backdrop? Nah. He was in a fucking neighborhood

        At an active threat, sure. When the dude’s been searched, handcuffed, and trapped in the back of a car…there’s some personal responsibility, imo.
