Should we read anything into the fact that the cop shot the black guy - who was lying on the ground with his hands raised - not the white guy who was sitting up holding an unknown object? Nah!

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Show you where? In the original post, or where you just did it again in this one?

Er, she wasn't the victim.

It's the dead bloke btw.

Optimistic as ever

No? She (and her child) had just watched her boyfriend get shot by police during a routine traffic stop. 7mins then proceeded to diminish her suffering by calling into question her behaviour in the immediate aftermath.

That's victim blaming, and it's never appropriate.

I said I think I would act differently. The rest was inferred by you. Stop being a precious silly sausage

She was not the one killed, but that doesn't mean she's not a victim here, having been witness to the horrific death of a loved one. Claiming, distanced from the event in both time and space, that she should have been doing something other than filming acts to devalue the messenger, and thus the message.

Still, given what has been going on around these police shootings in recent times - where independent video has been the victims' only voice, too many times showing a stark contrast between what happened and what the police said happened - filming the event was clearly the appropriate reaction to her. In that context, live-streaming it also makes sense given that police have often acted to confiscate and suppress such independent video footage.
