I remember this was really fishy in how the police reported it at the time, and it seemed pretty clear that this was likely. I hoped it could be proven eventually.
I have my doubts that we’ll see repercussions for the cops who pulled the trigger, but this is an encouraging development.
The article does include this at the end:
The California department of justice is investigating the case under a law requiring inquiries into police killings of unarmed people.
So maybe there will be justice?

I’ve been on an anti-police posting thing for more than a few years now. I’ve had some really shitty interactions with police in my life that has really driven my emotional empathy for them down down down lower than a badger’s ball-sack.
It is exhausting. I am tired. My anger has been subsumed by a sadness that anger can no longer carbonize, and none of social media has made anything better.
I and others have gotten more brash towards LEO, and LEO has escalated in lethality.
I am out of ideas. I am out of yelling and screaming and giving the finger to the police.

The BLM uprisings didn’t go nearly far enough.

I agree. But I am without a group of support.
