Simply said, a person was murdered by violent pigs, but chief attempts to
deny it.

Instead of medical attention, a man was brutally attacked by aggressive
pigs.

Despite irrefutable evidence of victim's distress, pigs did not attempt in
any way to help him in any way, and took advantage of the opportunity to
kill an easy prey, instead.

Advocating merciless killing, pigs' chief is publicly and blatantly
justifying their act of murder with full impunity before the law.

Blabbering about "self-defense" pig is hopelessly attempting to mislead the
public.

Another attempt to misinterpret the evidence is also doomed to fail. Just
because a person was able to catch a last breath, which may have prolonged
his life, it is an obvious proof in favor of the dying victim and against
his brutal assailants.

I only commend the victim of such monstrosity for not giving up so easily
to his assailants and being able to resist his beating.

It was an extreme violence, alright, but against an innocent individual,
which was ended with his death.

If it was indeed "a matter of life and death", and if it was a true in the
matter of fact, than pigs would not have actually got engaged in beating of
a defenseless individual, because they had a choice of not only delay that
engagement, but also could easily retreat, if feared to die...

Another clearly deliberate lie about "necessity" of subduing an obviously
quite sedated person.

Everyone has the right to use force, especially when being attacked, but the
pigs are usually the ones who attacking individuals with their brutality and
excessive force. They are also the ones who kill people without any
provocation and need for it.
