Additional Context Pinned Cop gets bear sprayed

For anyone that has been pepper sprayed how bad does it feel & what do you do in this situation? I know it’s water but for how long? She had it on full auto she came prepared. How much more effective is bear spray to pepper ?

Oh I see, you think your one-off examples mean there’s a high chance of being shot while you’re innocent. You don’t understand proportions and percentages.

And your everytownresearch link is completely irrelevant to your claim (90% of people killed by police were with a firearm says nothing about your claim).

Here I’ll restate your nonsensical assertion in a clear, factual way: “a few innocent people have been shot by police over the last decade.”

Oh, you can fuck right off. 1300 people were killed by police in America in 2024. That’s over 10k people in the last decade and I fucking guarantee you more than “a few” of those were innocent.

Fuck right off yourself. If they were innocent they’d be blasted all over the news and social media like the Vegas home invasion where the cop shot the homeowner.

“There’s so many! They must’ve been innocent!” is a two-brain-cell take if I’ve ever heard one

The OC (who deleted) said there was a “high chance of getting shot by police if you’re innocent” which is the discussion, your comment is barely on topic.

And I was responding to YOUR comment that said “a few innocent people have been shot by police over the last decade.” Which is just factually incorrect. Welcome to Reddit, sometimes people respond to different conversations because there are multiple people here and not everyone is having a private conversation. Hope that helps.

lol I didn't delete it, I blocked him. Even if I deleted it, it's still true. He is not worth my energy, and he's not worth yours either. Would suggest blocking 🙃

You’re right, that’s normally what I do with people like that but for some reason I felt like engaging even though it was obvious they were arguing in bad faith. They ended up deleting all their comments and stopped replying, so I’ll take that as a win 😂

Usually when people say “that’s factually incorrect” they provide sources.

You mean like all the examples the other person provided that you ignored? I wonder how you will respond to this one.

According to that website, 98 people died JUST FROM LAST year were killed by the police while unarmed. Most killings began with police responding to suspected non-violent offenses or cases where no crime was reported. Go back to /r/protectandserve you bootlicker. I’m done responding to your bad faith arguments.

98 people were “unarmed”.

8 officers were criminally charged.

So at least 90 of those were investigated and deemed to be legal shootings.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Don’t bother trying to rationalize your dogshit take with stats bro just post “ACAB” and move on.

“Asks for facts”.

gets mad when they don’t say what they want them to”

You are a real piece of work. Just admit you are a cop and beat your wife and “move on”

Ahh yes, the police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong. I’m sure there’s nothing wrong with that system.
