In this age of misinformation, reasonably, people have a hard time finding the humor in false portrayals anymore. You’ve got so much fake and unauthentic material now that people have gotten a bit jaded I think.
I recently read Jurassic Park for the first time and I thought the same thing. The movie provided a more engaging plot, had more emotional punch, and developed stronger characterization. Going back and reading Chrichton’s work has been a rewarding exercise to me as a budding writer. He had some great ideas but also surprisingly had a lot of flaws in his work.
The article says they fired non-lethal rounds and doesn’t mention that he was killed. It’s a rage bait headline. Not that I want to support cops, but I don’t like falsehoods being thrown around
It’s a bad article and a bad video. The non-lethal rounds did not kill him. The video says an officer “opened fire”, after the non-lethal didn’t work and the man grabbed the other officer’s weapon. Opened fire in this case means a standard firearm. Other actually good articles covering this make that clear. He was struck in the chest with an actual bullet fired from a hand gun.
I agree the cops should have handled it differently and fucked up as usual
That’s what the article calls them. What do you call beanbag rounds and rubber bullets and stun guns? I see the term less lethal or less-than-lethal used.
