I’m at Mercy Hosp. PGH with a family member. Nurse said rioters were blocking road and someone drove through. Expecting trauma patients.

He was an honor student and wore a dress shirt and tie to work and got his degree in marketing.

Wearing a tie is a sure sign that one is respectable.

Well it wasn’t suicide or accident. What else would one call or besides a homicide. Now it there is criminal liability, that’s another matter

They use the word “homicide” as though it means murder. The vast majority of imbeciles that read it will think the same

Yes. It was likely a justifiable homicide

“Homicide occurs when one person kills another without the sanction of law.”

No. Check it out. It’s not that hard

Frank,

You write like a Left Wing troll trying to incite someone at Free Republic to say something that can be interpreted as racist.

Deaths like this are always ruled homicide. The question is not whether shooting a fleeing, unarmed suspect three times in the back will be ruled justified, only when.

This is the only one where people are out there supporting the killer.

Well, I live in Pa, and if you are running from a cop the cause of death is ‘suicide’.

The only read question is how will CNN, MSNBC turn this into a anti Trump story?

>> Definition of homicide <<

Some dictionaries restrict it to “unlawful” killing, whereas others define it as any killing of one person by another — whether or not criminal.

In other words, the “authorities” don’t agree.

Still, I agree with the other posters who say the headline wrongly tries to accuse the officer of murder.

I am not a left wing troll. I tried to add something moderate but I have plenty to say about anti-cop mobs, Maxine Waters, and much more. That will probably be my last moderate comment.

Usually fellow FReepers attack me as too extreme (I make no exceptions for any Dems and this causes people to try to express their own compassion for a friend, loved one or acquaintance and say maybe that was one of the good Dems. Not me. No more special dispensations. Left wing media and Dems have gone too far for too long and deserve no rights except the right to feel pain as WWF wrestler Big Boss Man said in the 1980s. Pain.

I apologize for writing something atypically moderate.
We must stick together especially with midterms coming fast.
The other side is motivated. Let’s fight harder against them or it’s all over.

wore a dress shirt and tie. Tie sure sign of being resptectable….


Good one. I apologize to you.

Al Sharpton wore a tailor made expensive dress suit and silk tie as he incited a black mob in 1992 to “go get the Jews!” for an accident in urban Crown Heights traffic that killed a black teen. One in the mob took him up on it and murdered at random a young rabbinical student in cold blood. The incitement to riot and murder did not put Sharpton in prison. He has a TV show now on MSNBC.

Whether the mob is pulling Reginald Denny from his truck to beat him mercilessly, torturing Channon Christian or shooting Amanda Blackburn and turning her around “to watch the woman bleed” the clothes they wear does not matter. A dozen of these stories a week get buried on purpose except for local TV news segments.

I am sorry to all for posting a moderate story. We must stand together on common ground.
