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.

    Although, I would like to see any video/dashcam.

    I also think it’s stupid that an undercover cop was going to do a drug bust on something rather innocuous.

      Watch the video…the cop was out of the way of the car shooting into the side of it. Not only was he not in danger when murdering this person but also shot the passenger. Let the suspect get away and get them later they obviously panicked when the lights from the cops pulling up went off, no need to kill someone for some candy. They had enough information to put a warrant out after this interaction.

        There are so many actually harmful drugs they could focus resources on, but these assholes chose to go after a kid selling mushrooms, instead. Its probably because they are too cowardly to go after actual scary drug dealers. They’d prefer to collect a paycheck, and go ruin some harmless psychedelic users’ lives. I don’t know how they sleep at night. It’s disgusting.

        Psilocybin mushrooms are not ruining anyone’s lives.

      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.

      When a video shows exactly what the police claim, I’ll believe that. Not before.
