While the remaining 90%+ of Black on Black homicides continue to be ignored by BLM.

Any “marches” against the murders of Antonio Armstrong and his wife yet? What’s that? Crickets?

he was just a good boy with a felony warrant.

background:
“Authorities...have said he was subject to an outstanding felony warrant. Lawyers argue, however, that Shumpert ...was not driving a car registered in his name and was not asked for identification before he fled.

Police have said that after Shumpert ran away, he emerged from a hiding location and attacked Cook and the K-9 unit”

Someday these blacktivists will get lucky and find one case where the black guy didn’t try to attack the cops in some way.

Chumpert bailed as soon as the cars stopped. So no time to ask for ID.

How in hades can these lawyers know if he was driving the speed limit?

This families lawyer is saying some reckless drivel, must be related to Ms. “6 Time Loser” Mosby.

The lawyer’s talking point that the deceased wasn’t the vehicle’s registered owner is such a stupidly irrelevant comment I don’t understand how some people manage to pass the bar exam. Our cops are living in Groundhog Day: The cop doesn’t know what’s up, but the person does. And the person does something stupid to end up dead, and the crisis actors blame the cop, in this case, for not having long-distance mind-meld powers like Spock to know who was driving what vehicle - as if it would have changed one second of the deceased’s response to being pulled over.

That’s it. Police should not be allowed under any circumsntances to shoot a black man. /s

You know what, pull the dam department out of those neighborhoods and keep the cops on the outskirts so they can’t spread their violence.

It’s completely nuts. Criminals are the new victim class.

Amazing that these protestors cannot find one NON-criminal case to protest.

All we see and hear is “POLICE SHOOTING OF A BLACK MAN” not the OBVIOUS reason, police shooting of a black man for resisting arrest, trying to take his gun, shooting at police, the shooting of a policeman, the murder of a wife storekeeper or other person or persons all we see and hear is “POLICE SHOOTING OF A BLACK MAN” The media needs to be held responsible for the outcome of thier reporting, like a person yelling fire in a crowded theater.

Per your link...sounds like the authorities are pretty even-handed at killing the locals.

“Shumpert is one one at least 52 unarmed people who have been killed by US police in 2016. At least 18 of those victims were black, and at least 17 were white.”
