So you’re telling me that what I understand from reading the article is incorrect? Because my comment was based completely on what I read from the article.
Maybe my comment was poorly constructed. From reading the article, should my takeaway have been that the current use of the reference to the Yihetuan by the online trolls seems to be purely reactionary and not historical?
The police officers where wearing body armor, they were close enough to tackle the kid, the kid was on the ground being punched and instead of using a taser or holdstering their sidearm and helping the other cop by sitting on the kid they just pulled the trigger.
There is a link to the another article about a mass shooting in Arkansas…
Guy armed with multiple firearms actively shooting at people is wounded in a shootout with multiple cops. Cop shoots kid that might have had a firearm but only after the kid was tackled and on the ground. Its kinda hard not to focus on the White Guy not being executed by police and the Not White Kid being executed by police.
