Smyrna police Wednesday had not yet identified the man shot and killed by officers at a Vinings tire store Tuesday and had not asked the GBI to investigate the shooting.

While police have not released the man’s name, his parents came to the scene of the fatal shooting Tuesday afternoon, identified the dead man as Nicholas Taft Thomas and called for the FBI to look into the incident.

Felecia Thomas told Channel 2 Action News that her son loved cars and his family.

“My son was a lovable guy,” she said. “He would do anything for anybody. He just had a baby.”

So far its the Race baiter script... AJ is a race hustling propaganda site, painting the one shot as a sweet innocent child, and calling in Holder’s thugs ...

It will be hard to get the true story as the AJC is a commie pinko rag.

I wonder if the lovable guy who just had a baby took the time to marry the mother.

Tried to run over police with a Maserati.

Wonder if he bought it with his earnings from the tire store?

He must be black. The families of white criminals don’t assume the FBI will flood the zone with agents for the sake of some lowife criminal.

Another story.

21 Man shot dead by police had history of assaulting cops

According to court records, 23-year-old Nicholas Thomas was convicted in 2014 of aggravated assault on a peace officer and attempting to elude capture. On Mar. 21, 2013, a Kennesaw State University police officer attempted to pull over Thomas for speeding; Thomas accelerated and drove at the officer. He was also convicted of driving with a suspended license, no proof of insurance, and using a license plate that didn't match his car.

It doesn’t say it was his Maserati (new around $120k+).

I’m guessing Al Sharptons Sharpie sense was tingling but I doubt he’ll show up for this one.

Anything aggrieved Amish witnesses can lie about, they will.

Mobile cams never lie, though.
