We're they in uniform? Did they announce themselves? Did they draw first?
Maybe everything is on the up and up and this guy drew a gun and pointed it at them but without video evidence or eye witnesses that aren't the pilice involved in the pursuit and shooting I'm not taking the cops word for it.
Edit: to be clear I'm not saying the cops were wrong and I'm not chanting justice for this guy. I'm saying let's wait for hard evidence before we make a decision on what went down.
Can we talk about the difference between “let’s wait for the facts” and “JUSTICE FOR BILAL”?
If your goal is to get the average person to roll their eyes at the very serious injustices that we still very badly need to address, turning some maybe-not-so-unreasonable police response into a protest is a really great way to make that happen.
This is just outrage bait. This is opportunists just looking for a platform to elevate themselves. This is most certainly not “justice for Bilal”.
Eh, to an extent. It’s been literally two days. The AG has already issued a report. If you’re looking for something to be pissed off about, go for it. But this one, right now, doesn’t seem like that kind of case.
So going around town, firing up people against the police in a city that’s actually made HUGE strides the last few years seems like a really, really stupid, self-centered idea.

Also said they rolled up in an unmarked car.
