Wednesday's shooting happened at about 7:30 p.m. in the city's Shaw Neighborhood, and involved an officer working a department-approved secondary job for a private security company, Police Chief Sam Dotson said at an early-morning news conference.

The officer approached a group of men. One of the men took off running, Dotson said, so the officer pursued. Dotson said the suspect approached the officer in an "aggressive" manner, with a physical altercation occurring. The man then turned and fired three rounds at the officer before his gun jammed, Dotson said.

“The perp’s gun jammed after shooting first, but witnesses distinctly heard him call a timeout and therefore the shooting was not justified,” the report did not continue to say.

So I guess cops aren’t even supposed to shoot back AFTER a black has fired on them......What are they supposed to do, use harsh words?

No, they should give him a chance to clear the jam so it is a fair fight.

The local communist news reported it and added “the race of the officer is unknown.”

That’s all that matters! if the cop is Black, we will hear nothing of it!

The conclusion is that if the cop is White, he is automatically racist and guilty! 0bama mouthing off, the “justice” department going there to stir up trouble!

I’m sick of it.

I doubt that theyd even bother to report the incident unless the cop happened to be “white”.

If you fire a weapon at a police officer, you can expect to be shot.””””

Actually they claim that he had a SANDWICH (not a gun), and the sandwich jammed after firing three rounds...

“His mother says that he a good boy and didn’t do nothing.”

Cue the photo of the perp in a marching band uniform...

Seriously, what is the big deal here? So now, you can’t SHOOT BACK at someone shooting at you because they are a certain color/ethnicity?????

“Wow - so they will find 17 bullet holes in the thuggie, right?

Another crack-shot Keystoner.”

That does seem to be a pretty low score...as a matter of course, they will find all of the bullets...wonder where they wound up.

“The officer, who was not injured, returned fire, shooting 17 times and fatally wounding the man, Dotson said.”

Wow - so they will find 17 bullet holes in the thuggie, right?


Was the officer’s weapon a Glock G-18?
