I think what people are drawing issue with is your original post stated merely that he was shot because of a traffic violation.
You did post the link, but if the roles were reversed, you would be all over the poster for being "purposely obtuse" and not pointing out that the while the initial reason for police interaction was a vehicle code violation, the actual reason for the "execution" was him going for a gun (alleged).
If no one would have responded to it giving you an opportunity to bring up those facts, I am sure there would have been no further follow-up regarding a gun.

Listen, man. I appreciate having a fan who thinks they know my work, but my real fans know:
1. I save "purposely obtuse" for at least a handful of posts in, that's not something you hit people with right away, you give them a chance to respond and clarify first. Only rookies hit people with that right off the bat. In fact, I've only used it
once since you joined, and that was when (you guessed it) someone missed the point, had it explained to them, and continued to miss the point. Case closed.
2. There would always be closer to 100 follow up posts than no posts. Real fans know I hate my job so I basically live in this thread and threads like it. Got a social justice issue? 100 posts for you. Need a PC police? Send the Pepsi signal.
No follow up posts? Pfft, and you want to pretend like you know me? Dude... there's work to do.
