A Florida sheriff called for calm after a 28-year-old unarmed black man in a stolen car was shot and critically wounded early on Monday by a white officer, after witness reports that the man had his hands up and amid racially charged protests nationwide about police violence.

Soon to be followed by the cap and gown shot.

All the thugs are saints, and all the police officers are racists. And they call us predjudiced.

Looks like this guy has a record.

May I suggest linking directly to Reuters instead of going to Huffington? -

This is about 10 miles south of where Zimmerman “martinized” Trayvon.

Maybe blacks need to try to police themselves? How about they step up and prevent all these black crimes?

And no doubt on his way to classes at MIT, or delivering flowers to his sick grandma...

And more arrests.

Probably true but really irrelevant. The question is was use of deadly force called for? There has to be a justification or else why not just have cops shoot suspects on sight?

[P.O.E.]

“Disarmed”?

Wonder if Hillary “understands” the backwards tribe that did this to him.

So, we have felony auto theft and two men in the car at midnight when an officer stops them and issues orders to them. One of the men makes what the officer considers to be aggressive movements.

The officer shoots.

Sorry, but when you steal a car and get caught and fail to comply with a police officer’s commands, and then make any movement that might be considered aggressive, BAD THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN.

A Grand Jury will have to look at this, along with textimony, evidence, and any video from the officer’s car and determine if it was justified. Until that happpens, anyone rushing to judgement is on a fool’s errand.

Which is exactly what Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, Holder, and the other race baiters, progressives, liberal marxists, and black liberationists, who are looking for every opportunity to advance their ideologies are doing in each of these cases.

How does one put their hands up inside a car ?

OMG I had to laugh at that adorable baby.... but you are right, they will haul out the career criminal’s photos from Church or his graduation from Juvie and make him into a saint

[nuconvert]

That’s quite a 1st sentence. Couldn’t they get any more in it?

[martinidon]

i don't know the details, but you can be rest assured every police shooting involving a black perp will be classified as a “hands up don't shoot” by the blacks and media.
If I were a cop I would demand to have a body camera, and if one was not provided I would buy and wear my own.

[DoodleDawg]

Just once I’d like to see that the poor victim was NOT in the process of something illegal.

That 12 year old in Cleveland. That guy in the Ohio Walmart. That guy the police shot in the stairwell in New York. There are, unfortunately, too many examples.

The media will ignore the “in a stolen car” part of this

I expect the owner of the car to quickly be found and report that they let the sweet little boy borrow their car. It wasn't stolen at all.

[ForAmerica]

What the hell does "unarmed" have to do with anything?! He's a freaking thug in a stolen car!

If an "unarmed" man broke into my house, he's leaving in a body bag!

Maybe blacks need to try to police themselves? How about they step up and prevent all these black crimes?

Somehow that would cost the tax payer more than what we spend on Obamacare, medicare and the military combined.

LOL!!
