when your boyfriend raises his cock at your face, is that the same as when he points it?

Yes you do. There are two possible explanations for the placement of the bullet holes in the garage:

1. The bullet holes indicate that the door was moving while the four shots from the officer were being fired. This means that weapons were being drawn while the door was still mostly or completely open. As the cop raised his firearm the door began to close, but he could still see the body of the threat posed to him. He began to fire. Bullet 1 entered the bottom panel of the door and the remaining 3 proceeded up the third panel as the door rolled closed.

2. The cop waited for the door to close all the way, and fired a round at the bottom panel first, then raised his aim and fired through the third panel.

Which is more plausible?

This lunacy doesn't warrant an answer to any more of your questions. That's more than enough to put a reasonable person in reasonable fear of great bodily harm or death, much less a reasonable officer.

If you can agree with that, I'll discuss things further with you.

America just figured out the cheat code for jurisprudence, if a cop said it it must be true.

If the gun was in his back pocket the entire time, how did the cops see it in the first place? Do you think they are lying about ever seeing a weapon, and this cop just straight murdered an unarmed dude who, as luck would have it, had a pistol in his back pocket so he could claim "reasonable fear", or do you think it was a drop gun? Do you have ANY evidence or reporting of this?

Well, considering they had no idea if he was alive or dead I doubt they had a good view of the shooter. There are so many reasons why a cop would shoot low that it isn't even worth this discussion. It could have happened as they quickly drew their weapons or an attempt to knock him down or it could have just been a bad shot.

What seems clear from those pictures is a majority of the bullets went much higher when he no longer would have been visible outside of maybe his feet. Keep in mind that he is also doing this by hand so there is no real chance he is sitting there trying to close the garage door while "raising" his weapon at them.

Detective Brick is on the scene combing together his detailed forensic analysis from 300 word articles written by a TV station intern and a handful of pictures. By golly, he's gonna crack this case if its the last thing he does.

Oh the guy had one arm? I didn't know that. Hmmm...

For what it's worth, cops aren't trained to shoot at limbs to disable threats but keep the threat alive. They are trained to shoot center mass until the threat is neutralized.

When I am stuck and need to figure something out I always remember the Immortal words of Socrates when he said:"I just drank what?"

He could have been facing them for the side and the gun could have been visible, he could have been holding the gun when the door was open and he moved to put it in his pocket when closing the door, he very well could have done something with the gun that, from the officers perspective, made it appear as if he was pointing or going to point the gun at them.

The only people that know for certain are a dead guy and people with a vested interest in saying that a gun was pointed at them.

You're skeptical of nearly everything. Why are you so certain of the state's version of the events?

_________________

Because I haven't seen compelling reports that contradict the narrative that the gun was raised/pointed in the direction of the officers, and a jury found the deceased liable for almost all of what transpired.

cops never lie. nope.

Kinda shows the bias at work when the family is caught red handed in a huge lie but people still wont trust the cops. The (((media))) has really done its work with some of you.

He wuz a good boi and dindu nuffin. Also we wuz kings.

Now we're supposed to believe DNA tests? You libtards never cease to amaze.

Were there fingerprints or gunpowder on the gun?

Just take your loss.

I found an actual quote where he said there were no "identifiable" DNA or fingerprints on the gun, not that there were none of those things on the weapon.

Your record in this thread is incredibly poor.

Really digging in now.

The complete lack of DNA and fingerprints looks different than those things being present but somehow not able to be used for identification.

Complete lack of such substances could indicate a drop gun or one that was cleaned before being placed in his pocket after the incident.

Of course you could argue that Hill had a clean gun in his pocket the whole time, but how and why would he clean his weapon and place it into his back pocket to get drunk in his garage and listen to Drake songs?

Yeah. Maybe he cleaned his gun with a fatal head wound.

Obviously the family cleaned the scene up while they pretended the guy was still alive.

_________________

Is that what I said? What was the first thing I listed as an explanation for no DNA or fingerprints at all?

Only witnesses alive: well they're cops and they said he was pointing a gun, we should believe what they say.

Any evidence to the contrary: wellllllll wait just a minute here, we need MORE INFORMATION than that!
