Video shows cop fatally shoot man with raised hands

BRIDGETON, N.J. — Another police killing is stirring anger in another town, this time in New Jersey, where a tense traffic stop captured on video ended with a passenger shot to death as he stepped out of a car with his hands raised at shoulder height. The newly released footage from a police dashboard camera shows Bridgeton officers Braheme Days and Roger Worley in a Dec. 30 stop that escalates quickly after Days warns his partner about seeing a gun in the glove compartment of the Jaguar. Days screams over and over at the passenger, Jerame Reid, “Show me your hands!” and “If you reach for something, you’re going to be f—— dead!” The officer appears to reach into the car and remove the gun. But the brief standoff ends with Reid disregarding Days’ order to not move, stepping out and getting shot. The shooting has touched off protests in Bridgeton, a struggling city of about 25,000 people — two-thirds of them black or Hispanic — 35 miles from Philadelphia. The case came after months of turbulent demonstrations and violence over the killings of unarmed black men by white police officers in New York and Ferguson, Missouri.

The driver is the proof in the pudding...he complied...he’s alive.

“I had never seen that, nor even heard about it. To take such glee in the death of another human being. It’s demonic.”

You have just experienced the effect of how the media can “black out” and keep quiet about a story if they choose to..............Scary, ain’t it?

"I know it sounds kinda harsh but if they would learn to comply....they would not die."

Yep. The driver complied and he didn't die. If these cops were some sort of out-of-control executioners, they would have shot both of them.

It’s really surprising how different things are in a CCW state where the cops and the citizens play by the rules. About four years ago I was stopped by a cop in Knoxville, TN for speeding and not signaling for a lane change. As soon as he came up to my vehicle, I informed him that I was legally carrying a .357 magnum revolver in the glove compartment, asked him if he wanted to see it, and he declined the request. Then everything got friendly and he volunteered that also had a carry permit. Not only that, he reduced the speeding charge to the point where it was only a local violation and waived the failure to signal for a lane change part of the charge. IMHO, in the event of a traffic stop, it helps both to be carrying and to be totally open and polite about it.

"Did I read that correctly? He was driving a JAGUAR?"

Sure. Set aside some welfare money each month, sell your food stamps for cash, and you too could have a Jaguar -- courtesy of the American fools taxpayers.

The man was a two-time loser. No doubt he was dealing. He was facing his third strike. He had nothing to lose.

“Day in, day out, dealing with nasty, violent, wicked people.”

And then there are the criminals, who are even worse.

I’m wondering I the fires in New Jersey have been set to protest this story.

It’s clear evidence Obama’s state department took credit for the war crime torture, abuse, and murder of a POW.
