Narrative Warfare: Most Do Actually Have It Coming

Today in "This is why your anti-gun/anti-cop rhetoric is bullshit", we have this bodycam footage of an unarmed man assaulting two cops.

Yes, that is Hollywood actor James Woods reposting that footage. He's a class act. Give him a Follow if you do the Twitter.

What we see in this short video is all of the following shown to be bullshit.

1. There is no such thing as "shoot the leg" when you're under stress.
2. Being unarmed does not mean that you're harmless.
3. Aiming for anything but center-of-mass under stress, at any significant distance, is improbable at best; that's sniper work for a reason.
4. You need regular training to perform properly, and too many cops don't.

And this is commonplace criminality or violently mentally ill people. It's even worse when they organize into groups, however loose or chaotic, and swarm you.

The push for cops to have bodycameras and to keep them on at all times, with footage secured offsite and available for public review, has been the best own-goal I've seen out of the Left in a while. Why? Because the footage routinely shows that their narrative claims are bullshit, and not just the usual "He didn't do nuffin" bullshit; everything anti-gunners say about shooting attackers, about the danger of unarmed people, etc. are all proven to be so much bullshit thanks to these bodycam videos.

Which is why the Death Cult pivoted on a dime--there is no inertia in politics--and reversed course on the entire issue. They wanted that footage to validate their narrative; that's still the goal, but since they don't have control they'd sooner deny all access than allow any that they don't control.

Yes, that includes shutting it down entirely.
