August 9, 201610 yr Author Without watching an hour of it, when does the shooting occur? The very beginning. It's about 20 minutes of three different vantage points. It happens within the first two minutes.
August 9, 201610 yr I didn't watch the video but this one sounds pretty straightforward. Cops were surely justified. Machetes are definitely deadly weapons.

August 9, 201610 yr I think the Cincy BLM group and the NAACP chapter owe the city and it's officer an apology for how they reacted to the shooting there yesterday. It's been my same issue since the start. You can't act like all shootings are unjustified if you want your group to remain credible.
