The lawyer for the St. Louis-area cop who shot dead Antonio Martin on Tuesday night has suggested his client may have been set up and ambushed by Antonio Martin, who police say pulled a loaded 9mm pistol on the officer without warning.
The Berkeley, Missouri, officer was responding to a 911 call about a possible theft from a Mobil gas station about 11.15pm on Tuesday.
Brian Millikan, the lawyer for the unnamed 34-year-old Berkeley officer, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the cop may have been walking into a deadly trap set by Martin and his friend.
'Their behavior is certainly bizarre, and it wouldn't surprise me at all, in the environment we are in, that's for sure,' Mr Millikan told the newspaper.
The shooting happened just three miles from where unarmed teen Michael Brown was shot dead by white officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson in August. Berkeley, like Ferguson, is a predominately black St. Louis suburb.

Martial.
Marshal Law is a Tekken character.
“...unarmed teen Michael Brown was shot dead by white officer...”
No bias or false, misleading statements there.

I dunno. The news said the cop saw them parked and stopped to question them about a convenience store robbery. Robbing a store and then stopping at a well lit gas station is a strange way to stage an ambush.
In the first place we're not talking about geniuses. Second, if it was an ambush you would think both would be armed.
Really? It seems to me all those wanna-be rappers love to brag about all the people they’ll kill with their Glock.
It might have been a lure. As you said, we’re not talking about geniuses and they might have agreed to ‘take one for the team,’ but it went wrong when the perp died, not lived to end up giving interviews and sermonizing about how the cop was ‘coming at him’ blah blah blah victim is me garbage.
Marshal Law is a Tekken character.
