re: #209 Scout

I don’t have the words to describe how angry this makes me:

Prosecutor: No charges against officer in deadly hoax call

This “reached for his waistband” claim has appeared in a lot of police shootings recently. It is not a reason to shoot, the killers know perfectly well that men in particular will reflexively try to pull their pants up when they are taken by surprise. I saw this many times when I was a police officer, and never shot anyone. It is an excuse, a power-tripping fad among killer cops. It is akin to the spate of shootings of harmless little dogs we saw a while back, a fad that continues in many brutality-oriented cop shops. It is an expression of brutal, un-mitigated power. I would like to see a national, indeed, global, boycott of communities that allow this barbarism. Hit these savages and their backward-ass fascist employers where it hurts, in their profits.
