In May, 2020 Ward and another KCK officer responded to an apartment complex where they discovered a stolen F-150 Ford Raptor truck, according to a federal lawsuit.

According to the lawsuit, the officers saw an “African American male entered the Raptor and left the driver’s side door open.”

The lawsuit says both officers ran toward the truck, where Ward’s partner tasered the man, Joshua Brunson. The truck lurched forward. Ward and his partner backed away from the Raptor, “while drawing their firearms and firing indiscriminately,” the lawsuit says. “Ward emptied the clip of his firearm and reloaded.”

Brunson was hit four times and almost died from blood loss, according to the lawsuit.

Brunson, it turns out, was “hired to clean and detail the Raptor,” the lawsuit said.

It’s crazy that cops just… fucking kill people for running. We’re such an evil and warped culture that we think it’s “obvious” to treat prisoners like animals, “no duh” you kill someone running away, “should have listened” to a man murdered for driving away from a cop.

They see everything about us. They see everything we do. Eyes and ears everywhere. Best spy shit in all the world, and it’s pointed at us.

But they still hunt people down and chase them Hollywood style and act like a fucking movie star as they kill people. Congratulations, a man made a split second decision over the idea of losing his freedom over a pipe in his pocket… and now he’s dead.

Edit: if a cop said this guy pulled a gun, then this guy didn’t pull a gun. End of story.

Is it illegal to own a gun in Kansas? Can someone really pull a gun on you if all you can see is their back? Fuck cops.
