    Witnesses told WISN 12, a local news station, that a pair of men were fighting in a park when one pulled out a knife. Witnesses reportedly told the station that the men appeared “startled” by the massive police response, and that the men were fired upon by “numerous officers.” Other reports suggested only a single officer opened fire.

    When even the guy about to get stabbed is like “woah there fellas, take it easy” 🙄

    As an aside, as someone from Columbus, Ohio, we have the worst cops. They’re morons. They kill so many unarmed people, and they will write you a ticket for ANYTHING you do in a car. Drive in Ohio, and you will be pulled over and ticketed for the dumbest shit imaginable. Also if you’re black you’ll probably be shot for holding a sandwich or something.

      Go easy on them, they have to fulfill their quota of slaves free labour to deliver to the private prison industry just like any other honest job does. How else could they uphold their profit margins if they had to, like, pay for labour? That would not be very american, would it it?
