    I hope you’re wrong. There’s no way that officer knew her name at that point, much less her orientation. He was fully willing to, even if unknowingly, kill a heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon, Evangelical, stay-at-home mom as long as she was anything but politically right of center. Again, none of that demography should matter, but for those to whom is does, I hope they have or develop the common sense to know that this means they are and have been on the menu for quite some time now.

      Are they not using Palantir bullshit and stingrays and flock cameras and everything? I can think of several ways…

      Not only that, but the wife was outside of the car filming and maybe said/did things prior to the footage to indicate they were together.

      I hope I’m wrong too, but don’t underestimate the hoops people are willing to jump through to continue defining themselves as the in-group and every victim as the out-group.
