" police say" lots of things that end up being lies

[@joeaardvark9214]

Ok and? The guy was literally doing exactly what they said he was doing. The video is out. I bet you feel dumb now.

[@DebbieOnTheSpot]

@@joeaardvark9214 not even a little. Evidence of police lying is flooding out. Thank God for body cameras!

[@ericthemidget9685]

WTF is “Head of Constitutional Policing”? Sounds like there is unconstitutional policing going on the regular or it is a fantasy DEI position that taxpayers should protest as waste of money.

[@joeaardvark9214]

You're one of those people that has to find something to cry about no matter what, huh?

[@ericthemidget9685]

You’re one of those fools that stick your head in the sand and refuse to see the truth.

Most useless press conference EVER

[@joeaardvark9214]

This wasn't a press conference, r-word. This was a briefing right after the incident. The actual conference is 72 hours later, which is now posted on youtube. Try knowing things sometimes, it's nice.

I'm sure it was an "assault rifle" with a bump stock!

Lies

[@joeaardvark9214]

Where? What was the lie? Be specific. The video is literally posted on youtube as of today of him brandishing the rifle.

Seems like a machine gun 🔫 insteaf of a handgun

[@VegasGenxBox]

Cue the gun nuts trying to determine the difference between long rifle and long gun. Like it freaking matters.

[@BLdontM]

Cue the libs wanting to ban "fully semi automatic" guns having no idea what they're saying.

[@User5_]

A "long rifle" is a smooth bore muzzle loader lol...a rifle is a long gun..so are most shotguns. I didn't need to determine anything..
