“I’m gonna f–king kill you!”

Officer threatens to kill demonstrator
For those of us who follow police abuse, this is not surprising at all. This behavior is normal and extremely common.

Pointing a loaded weapon at someone who is not threatening your life and saying “I’m going to f–ing kill you.” is a crime. In normal cases it would be legal to meet such a threat with lethal force and would be considered self defense. Not so with police. Because of the special government costume they wear they are able to violate the law routinely and those threatened by them are not able to defend themselves.
