The perp's mother claims that the ute was only carrying a sandwich.
Maybe it was a sandwich in the shape of a pop-tart gun?
It’s racist to shoot a black “yoot” now, even if they started shooting at you first!
If you weren’t so racist, you would take the bullet with a smile, whitey!
Looks pretty clear cut. The perp decided to fight it out rather than get arrested and have his bond revoked.
Police: Off-duty St. Louis officer shoots, kills man who fired at him
By Ed Payne, CNN

“Yes, the teen was black. And the officer was white. Yes, the officer fired several times. And it all unfolded in the St. Louis metro area.
But in this case, the 18-year-old was armed, and he fired on the officer first, St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said.
Police didn’t name the slain teen, but the teen’s former attorney, Peter Cohen, identified him as Vonderrit Deondre Myers. Myers’ parents informed Cohen of their son’s death, the attorney said.”

Not surprised...Beckel was defending the yoot on this.
“According to police, the officer was off-duty and patrolling the neighborhood as an employee of a private security company when he drove past three men at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday. As the officer drove past the group, one of the males began to run. When the officer made a U-turn, they fled, police said.
“One of them ran in a way that the officer believed that he was armed with a gun – holding his waist band, not running at full stride,” Dotson said, referring to the 18-year old.
The officer, who was wearing a Metropolitan Police Department uniform, drove through the streets after them, then left his car and chased the group on foot. One of the men then turned toward the officer and approached him “in an aggressive manner,” Dotson said. The 18-year-old and the officer got into a physical altercation.
Dotson said the man then ran up a hill and fired three times at the officer before the officer returned fire. Investigators recovered a 9mm Ruger at the scene, which Dotson said was used by the 18-year-old, whom he described as “no stranger to law enforcement.” Police said the weapon was reported stolen on Sept. 26.”
How dare that white officer not take a bullet for the crimes of his race. CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE WHITEY!
“The way that one of the men ran — grabbing at his waistband, slightly lopsided — indicated that he was carrying a weapon, so the officer chased him, Dotson said.
Ballistic evidence recovered from the scene indicates that the man fired three rounds at the officer before his weapon jammed, Dotson said, adding that the gun was also recovered.”
Why does the WSJ feel the need to tell us who is black and who is white? I’m fed up with the presumption of racism.

How long before ‘Wolfie’ jumps in and demands to know why the St. Louis police officer did not shoot the gun out the little tyke’s hand just like Roy Rogers did?

I’m going to go out on a limb, here, and suggest that maybe Mommy Dearest is lying through her teeth.
This dude chose poorly. He chose to initiate a shootout with a cop rather than turn himself in. He chose poorly and paid with his life. But it was his choice to initiate that sequence of events. Don’t see how they can blame racism or any other factor here.
Wow, a sandwich that fires bullets! No wonder he stole it!
That train has already left the station .. see link at #6 above.
