Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They forgot you can clearly see the car doesnt touch anything but his arms that he himself put down on the hood in the videos we have. The only vague one is the one he shot himself, with his phone in his hand the whole time, even as he allegedly was rammed while reaching for his gun. That doesn't seem to urgent to me if you can keep that grip on your fucken phone the whole time.
I have a bit of a suspicion that the video was edited between him standing there and the bump when the car supposedly hit him. The speed of the shift of the camera image makes no sense considering the low speed the car drove.
Plus just before the incident he switches the phone to his left hand.... Also there is footage out there he has his gun out just before she drove off.
Is internal bleeding a reframing for a bruise?
The internal bleeding was probably his untrained ass panicking so hard it popped a hemmy
Well they wouldn't technically be lying as a bruise is internal bleeding.
The most troubling thing I saw in the video that he shot himself was that you can see him switching his phone away from his dominant hand. Shortly before everything went down. He was clearing himself to draw.
Other video demonstrates that he drew his gun before the vehicle started moving forward. Like, fully out of the holster and about four or five inches away from his body.
He also started with his phone in his right hand and switched to his left before he moved in front of the vehicle. He knew full well he was going to draw.
