I can’t imagine anyone objecting to cops shooting a guy who’d killed 21 people and would probably have killed some more. Could you actually name someone who might?

[WS:] I do not know most people on this list personally, so it is
hard to tell, but judging from the internet vitriol I can think of a few -
Carrol Cox, Louis Proyect (ok, he is an ex member,) Travis Fast, Yoshie
Furuhashi, “Bitch,” maybe Dennis Claxton. Or to be more precise, I think
these people would NOT object to it if it were happening in some distant foreign
land of which they have no priors, but they would object to it in this country because of their ideological perspective on social relations and
causes of criminal behavior.

Again, this is just my impression based on the tone of their
posting. I have no way of knowing how indicative that is.

Well, they can all speak for themselves. Anyone?

Take a look and read at this. Chicago Police Officer responds to a disturbacne by himself and shoots and kills and unarmed citizen with absolutely no cause. The Chicago Police Department then attempts to conceal the murder. The video and the accompanying article explain it all in depth. What are your comments?
