    Foo Fighters

    Too alarmin' now to talk about
    Take your pictures down and shake it out
    Truth or consequence, say it aloud
    Use that evidence, race it around
    There goes my hero
    Watch him as he goes
    There goes my hero
    He's ordinary
    Don't the best of them bleed it out
    While the rest of them peter out?
    Truth or consequence, say it aloud
    Use that evidence, race it around
    There goes my hero
    Watch him as he goes
    There goes my hero

    George Floyd, Rayshan Brook and now this guy all had multiple officers trying to get him into submission. None were successful- lots of videos on youtube showing criminals getting away from a cop's grip. Why is this so hard to understand that fighting in this situation just makes it worse?

    I don't know about you but I wouldn't be too keen on getting on the ground and wrestling with a guy who is holding a knife like that.

    If he really was carrying that knife prior to getting shot the police showed restraint in not shooting him earlier.

    A person wanted for sexual assault , violating a restraining order, carrying a knife, and wrestling with the cops gets shot. So multi millionaires are literally in tears (doc rivers) and refuse to play sports ball games and hold this guy up as a hero.

    Did I miss anything?

    Yes, the facts don't matter. It's all about the narrative. I hear he was trying to go to the store and get Skittles for his kids when the police profiled him for being black.
