2 News’ Naomi Keitt is giving us a look at body camera video from a July 31st shooting where officers killed a man they say pointed a gun and threatened to kill a code enforcement officer.
These are the kind of things that literally will only ever happen in the US. Imagine sending a tank to enforce HOA lawn rules, what a country.
“If I knew that he was having difficulty maintaining his yard then I know that any one of us would’ve pitched in and done it for him,” said Heather Blackwelder.
Fuck off, you literally didn’t even know your neighbor and no one even cared until this happened.
the inspector said they got reports about his lawn - that would have been from those neighbors. the fact that his lawn bothered them so much that they reported him pretty much says they wanted him punished for not maintaining his lawn. clearly, nobody went and talked to the dude.
and now that they got him killed, they want to act like it’s such a shame that they had no way of knowing he may actually have been “deserving” of neighborly assistance due to “difficulties.” why is that never the first assumption? that someone might need help? it never is. the first assumption is always some kind of moral failing deserving of punishment.
