Why I’m Cynical


Remember that story about the guy who was shot by the cops in London? Remember how the police say they were justified in shooting him because he was wearing a jacket that could have been concealing a bomb, was running away from the police, and jumped the turnstyle to get into the Subay? Remember that?

Well, it turns out that it was all true, except that he wasn’t wearing a padded jacket, he never jumped the turnstyle, and as for running away when he was shot. Well, he wasn’t quite running away… it was more like he was restrained when the cops shot him in the head. Eight times.

Details, details.
