    So it’s either a bunch of kids setting off fireworks which was mistaken for gunshots…

    Which is backed up by a shit ton of evidence…

    OR

    It’s 10 foot tall aliens because some idiot on social media thought they saw a blurry shadow walking around cop cars…

    We may never know /s

      I love the idea of an alien invasion in Miami and the first you hear of it is a bunch of gunfire as random citizens just declare war on the aliens within second.

      “Oh my god what’s that??”

      “It’s kinda shadowy”

      “Open fire!”

          Cops don’t investigate crimes

          They just take shots in the dark.

      There’s not one video I could find of any sort of fight or these fireworks. They lined the streets with dozens of cop cars. You gotta admit it’s a bit strange

      I’ve started blocking any Lemmy account which shares shitty news like this. It’s a shame because I really wanted Lemmy to be different from Reddit

    Okay, but here’s my question:

    When they went to return the Christmas present to Macy’s, did they bring the receipt?

        What if you’re from out of state? What if you’re from out of the country? What if you’re a 10-foot tall alien from another planet?

    Kind of amazed that cops didn’t just randomly start opening fire at anything that moves.

      They probably did, and it did nothing, as in most monster/alien movies. Then the MiB showed up, sent it back up, and mind wiped everyone involved.

    On tiktok i found this;

    1st hand witness #1 https://www.tiktok.com/@portarok/video/7320640607658052907

    1st hand witness #2 https://odysee.com/@InfoNews:f/Miami-Eyewitness:9 . (on his tiktok he admits making it up)

    Regarding the rooftop video-shot which is all over the news, as if there’s an alien walking… There a better video from another angle, showing those are 3 cops walking… https://youtu.be/fhyx_22iZIE?t=557
