Kenosha police officer Pablo Torres shot 26-year-old Aaron Siler in the back as he fled on foot after crashing his car, following a high-speed chase. Torres killed Aaron on his first day back from a 10-day mandatory administrative leave, after shooting and wounding a man on March 4th who had ‘advanced towards police with knives’. Just two weeks later, and he’s back on the job killing people.
Since the Supreme Court has allowed the police to shoot and kill motorists who lead them on reckless high-speed chases, no action will be taken against Torres.
According to The Guardian, Aaron was avoiding the police who were trying to arrest him on a felony probation and parole warrant.
Police declined to comment further about Siler’s shooting, including the type of weapon he was allegedly wielding when he was killed.
This isnt that far from where i just moved from.
Killing someone is MORE VIRTUOUS than running from the cops.. provided you’re a cop only.. The military are the extreme of this and accountable to no one.
