South Florida cops claimed they were “forced to fire” at a 32-year-old Black man named Donald Taylor in August because he was armed and would not follow commands.
But newly surfaced video contradicts those claims, showing the Black man walking away from cops with his hands raised to his sides showing no gun in his hand when a Hollywood police officer fired a single shot as Taylor had his back turned to the cops, killing him.
Well tbf, not in CA. They make it hard to carry legally unless you’re one of those “better” than the rest of us, like rich actors and silicon valley types.
But you’re right that alone isn’t justification, even if he was carrying, even if it was illegal, it’s still not a death sentence unless he’s actively trying to use it for murder, at most it’s a felony charge.
This was Hollywood, FL, not Hollywood, CA.
Ah yes an important distinction indeed, in that case nevermind on that!
(Who the hell named it that? That’s as dumb as having like, a Paris in Texas! …don’t tell me…)
Florida is full of places like that: Hollywood, San Antonio, Jupiter, etc.
At least there isn’t a Miami somewhere cold like the Midwest. Say, Ohio for example. 😂
Ohio has a whole county named Miami
Hollywood FLORIDA is a city in which literally anyone can carry a gun with or without a permit.
AH well yeah that is different then lmao.
