GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Black man face-down on the ground was fatally shot in the back of the head by a Michigan police officer, the violent climax of a traffic stop, foot chase and fight over a stun gun, according to videos of the April 4 incident released Wednesday.
Patrick Lyoya, 26, was killed outside a house in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The white officer repeatedly ordered Lyoya to “let go” of his Taser, at one point demanding: “Drop the Taser!”

Do you see him grabbing a taser?
There will be no riots. All that was just to get rid of Trump and install a marxist. They have their marxist.
I think once they’ve been in prison thereafter they will always run/fight off police if they continue their life of crime....even to risking being shot for doing so.
“...and fatal use of force against an unarmed Black man...”
Nope...the bLACK man had a taser.
“Sadly, there are many even here on Free Republic who adopt woke terms as well. In addition to “Black”, there’s also “gender” instead of “sex”, “sexual orientation” instead of “sexual preference”, “gender correction surgery” instead of “genital mutilation” ... When you adopt the terms of the woke, you lose.”
Agreed! Don’t forget the ever-annoying, “Democratic Party” instead of “Democrat Party”.
“Do you know anything about him at all?”
I know...
- he refused to obey the cop’s lawful orders
- he tried to evade the cop by running away
- he grabbed the cop’s taser & refused to let go
- he assaulted the cop
- he resisted arrest
What good can come from running? A person is still going to jail. Maybe I am missing something, but why make things worse on yourself?
