Looks like when the car backfired, both the driver and the police thought a gun was fired. In light of what has been going on, the driver probably thought the cops were shooting at him, got scared and took off. The situation then escalated and this officer jumped onto the hood of the car and shot dead the driver and his wife.
That is all I can get from the account here.
CLEARLY LAW ENFORCEMENT, ONCE AGAIN, overreacted. CLEARLY, the cop invalves here acted irresponsibly in shooting and killing the unarmed driver and the passengers.
The cops were apparently tossing so much lead they didn’t realize nobody was shooting back.
Clearly, cops are out of control. And they misbehave, everyone else winds up bearing the burden of the consequences, whole they and the courts close ranks to protect them.
The judge was wrong. One of the people executed here did nothing at all. The other was guilty of a minor misjudgement which can be explained by the circumstances yet paid with his life. Meanwhile, the “professionals” responsible walk away scott free.
This misbehavior by cops has to stop, the violet reaction of the black public to these actions has to stop and the system has to correct this.
AGAIN:
Residency requirements
Civilian review boards with authority to fire
a replacement of police chief with civilian public safety directors
Elimination of the PBA and FOP
Cessation of police militarization
Public monitoring of all police academy courses
Body cameras and car cameras
If this isn’t stopped, it will destroy our society from within.
The guy led the cops on a 100mph chase for 22 miles in Cleveland, ramming police cars, etc.. You need to get a better source for info!
