“You have someone who is calling the police for help, and she gets killed by the police who she’s asking for assistance,” said Bradley Gage, the family’s attorney. “If you call police for help, you think the officers are going to protect and serve you. You don’t expect them to hunt and kill you.”

FYI, I first heard this on Apple Music, but saw it being used in a new Grinch remake (featuring Benedict Cumberbatch). The scene it was used in: I love this song, and I like Christmas, but that would’ve scared the crap out of me if I were the Grinch. 😮‍💨

If you’re viewing this from a Fediverse instance, there might not be any video or link above the first paragraph, but uhhh…there’s supposed to be a video above the first paragraph. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to click the permalink to watch the video. Or just look up “Pentatonix – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” on Youtube. I will hopefully be able to fix this with the upcoming version of the Activitypub plugin.
