The left loves to omit the details and truth of everything so it fits the black/white box.

They only know how to combat Republicans by calling them evil/Satan.

Yup. Kyle just rolled up on those three guys and started firing. Cold blooded murder.

The officers reported that upon their arrival, they both continuously yelled "show me your hands" through the open patrol car window. Loehmann further stated that instead of showing his hands, it appeared as if Rice was trying to draw: "I knew it was a gun and I knew it was coming out."[11][12][13] The officer shot twice, hitting Rice once in the torso.[4][14] According to Judge Ronald B. Adrine, "...On the video the zone car containing Patrol Officers Loehmann and Garmback is still in the process of stopping when Rice is shot."[13] Rice died the following day.[15]

Rice's gun was later found to be an airsoft replica that lacked the orange-tipped barrel, which would have indicated it was a toy gun.[16][17]

Tamir Rice has an Airsoft gun he was pointing at people. Whoever called out the cops told them it was a real gun. IIRC, he had obliterated the markings on it that made people know it was a replica.

Kyle? Was using the rifle for defense when three assholes attacked him with varying weapons ranging from a brick to a handgun. Two dead, one disarmed, and attempted to turn himself over to law enforcement.

Cops knew not to frick with Kyle. He has probably killed more thugs then 90% of the force.

Meme sucks

Should say that he killed two commies and he also disarmed another.

This is why we burn our own neighborhoods and kill innocent people and cops

Wouldn't a fake toy gun mean it was real but looked like a toy?

I believe he had an actual toy gun.

Inconvenient fact is the cops aren’t doing shite to anyone in these riot zones. Therein lies the problem.

In their defense, when prosecutors literally say they will drop any charges brought against rioters, it kind of takes the wind out of your sails. Especially when you are getting knocked out with bricks and having molotov cocktails thrown on you.

Yeah, very misleading.

Rice wasn't killed "for having a fake toy gun". The wording indicates that it was known that his gun was not a "real" gun and was killed anyway. It's void of context, such as fear for life by the officers.

Likewise, the statement about Rittenhouse lacks any mention of self-defense or that his presence was known and approved of by the police because he and his group were assisting the police with essentially riot control.

Notes:

1) interestingly, because Rittenhouse took a "compliant / surrender" stance/walk, the cops let him by

2) because Rice pointed a VERY realistic toy gun at cops, he got shot

UPSHOT: as we have said on this board, comply and you will highly unlikely be shot

I know you’re typically a douche bag by nature, but you’d be surprised how biased top Google results are. I can barely Google a non-Democrat politician or news source without it being completely dismantled in a derogatory way. Imagine stories like this.
