This feels like the right version of the discourse around some cop shootings. There's a difference between "deserved to die" and "did stuff at one moment around cops that could predictably result in them getting shot". At least from the video I saw, I could understand why the officer opened fire (just as I would say to some progressives who think every police shooting is racism, that sometimes people put themselves in situations likely to have bad endings and that's kind of one them, or maybe a society that ignored their mental illness, etc., not so much the cop). https://bird.makeup/@endwokeness/1876325857377079777
