30. Yes, in nearly every case

The murdered man has been a criminal or mentally ill. Is that a reason or justification for murder? For back child support? For drunk driving? For shoplifting? For holding a broomstick or a screwdriver?

If you're looking for reasons to justify killing these men, you'll find them. Just as the cops did. Because they were criminals, because they ran, because they struggled...

So please, just go to gofundme and put in your dollars for Officer Slater. He killed some creep who didn't pay his child support and the world is better off. Except his ex is not going to get anything now... it's hard to pay back child support when you're dead.
