LINK ‘Cop City’ activist’s official autopsy reveals more than 50 bullet wounds | Georgia | The Guardian

Georgia police shot "Cop City" protestor Manuel Terán 57 times in the first state killing of a climate activist in the US. Official autopsy also shows Terán did not fire a gun which obliterates the police narrative. Another police murder, this time a climate activist.

When shooting civilians is nothing more than an arcade game in the minds of goons with guns ...

The notion that police can empty their clips into an unarmed civilian (the kind they're supposed to be protecting as I recall) with no consequence simply highlights how corruption permeates police forces and their governments. These people are unfit to serve, and the need to screen them out must be implemented at some point.

And again, we see that corruption results in a tiered justice system where those invested with responsibility get held to a lower, rather than a higher standard. That practice must be inverted. People with responsibility MUST be held to a HIGHER standard of conduct, and be subject to much harsher penalties when they abuse their privilege.

There was a time when an officer at the time of retirement could claim with pride that he never had to fire his weapon. De-escalation and problem-solving were once thought to be the most effective way to end a dispute. Now bullets are their go-to problem-solving method. Shameful.
