Entirely political. Police do the same thing all over but because it was a black man on cellphone video the entire black community rioted and burned everything down for a month. Should they have been convicted? Probably. Was it deliberate? Most likely not. Dude was hopped up on fentanyl.

Dude, you don't even get "hopped up" on Fentanyl.....

Oh sorry my bad. What I meant to say is he was high on drugs and had an extensive criminal history. He started the encounter by fighting the police. Don't fight the police.

Sadly the left adore the race baiting politics of this stunt

They need this to feel virtuous. They ignore all the evidence of saint fentanyl and his drug journey
