From the New York Times:
Prosecutors said that the protester, Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, posed an “immediate threat” to state troopers who were trying to clear activists from a forest where a police training center was being built.
How did it go from “he was killed while seated, with his hands in the air” to “totally reasonable”?
Outside of the usual reasons we do that.
Mr. Franklin noted that the effort to learn what happened had been frustrated by the fact that the state troopers involved were not wearing body cameras. He and other activists have demanded an independent investigation of the shooting.
Jeez, a whole “team of Georgia State Patrol S.W.A.T. troopers” and none of them was wearing a standard-issue bodycam. Most peculiar, momma.
