Autistic people should be able to shoot cops on grounds of fearing for their safety.
And queer people. And racial minorities. And women. And everyone else.

It was suicide by cop, but I need to stress that itself is police brutality.
He said he didn’t want to live anymore, and refused to drop a knife while approaching the officers. All 3 fired at him.
