faith is to be awake

his name is stephen mader and not only did he refuse to shoot, he actively wanted to help the man (ronald ‘rj’ williams) because he could tell that he was only acting out because of mental illness. rj williams was suicidal and holding an unloaded gun and, while mader didn’t shoot him, a fellow officer (ryan kuzma) did and murdered him on the spot. here is the source and here’s to hoping rj williams gets justice

“Saying the words ‘Just shoot me’ sent up the red flag that he was just trying to harm himself and no one else … That’s what made me make my decision. He needed help” I hate this fucking world. The guy was actually trying to do his job by actually desculating the situation the right way (desculating these days apparently just means shoot them) and was fired for “failing to eliminate a threat.”

HE WON THE LAWSUIT AND GOT $175,000

Again the safest best is to specificaly say "I am invoking my right to have an attorney present" and then "I am invoking my right to remain silent" and then DO NOT SAY ANOTHER W O R D

FYI this is called ‘missing man formation’ and is done in honor and remembrance of a fallen pilot I’M NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING
