I don’t think the chief’s identification of the “gun” in the freeze frame is really beyond a reasonable doubt. I’d be fine with it if we could see the bodycam after the shooting, showing the cop going up to the kid and the gun next to him. Since if he was holding it while running, where else would it be other than roughly in the same place as that random patch of pixels?

    If you could prove that, then yes. I don’t really see how this event will lead to less police brutality though. Only an organized political movement could achieve that. With this action, another cop will be hired to replace the one killed and the system will go on unchanged.
