What makes it so horrible is that's it's so obvious the lad was desperate to comply. The questioning of the officer and the orders given by him are not only confusing (he appears to mean walk towards me on your knees when he says crawl, etc) but also it's like he's been taught how to make sure he signs over responsibility for anything that happens to the suspect with the script he's been fed. And in that situation the aggressive and threatening nature of the instructions, man. Basically, one false move and there's a good chance I'll kill you. Imagine being half cut and following those instructions under those circumstances? The police culture and the system fucking stinks but that doesn't begin to absolve the cunt who pulled the trigger.

7-8 minute walk from my mate's apartment. Barely impacted his day at all. 

 

We're so numb to it these days, dunno if that's a good or a bad thing.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio tweeted that the shooting was "designed & executed to maximize loss of life".

But he said that it was too soon to debate whether tighter gun laws could have stopped it.

"You should know the facts of that incident before you run out and prescribe some law that you claim could have prevented it," he told Fox News.

Florida Governor Rick Scott said the shooting was "pure evil", but also refused to be drawn into a discussion about gun control.

"There's a time to continue to have these conversations about how through law enforcement... we make sure people are safe," he said.

Just when is the time to discuss gun control?

It's quite horrifying in a way that you almost become ammune to yet another story like this but it just happens so often and you know it won't change anything.
