Spokane Cops Blame WWII Vet’s Death on ‘Fighting Back’, Says No ‘Racism’ Involved
http://clashdaily.com/ ^ | 08/27/2013 | n/a

Two teenage boys are charged in the bloody beating of Delbert Belton outside a Spokane, Washington ice skating rink and investigators are now suggesting the soldier—who took a bullet in the Battle of Okinawa—tried to stop the apparent robbery.

Police say that enraged the teens and turned their petty theft into full-blown murder as they continued to beat him into submission with ‘big, heavy flashlights.’

‘Our information is that the individual fought back and that may have made this, you know, a worse situation,’ said Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub in a Monday press conference.

So they had to cave in his skull with heavy flashlights and beat him to death because he refused to submit to their demands? Was he suppose to bow and thank them when they finished robbing him? The chief sounds like an excuse making piece of shit.

“Spokane, you need a new police chief.”

This is really true! This guy had no formal training to be a chief and had to go to classes prior to becoming their police chief. This guy is a total loser and I am tired of seeing his unexperienced mug on local TV.

I see. He was pretty much asking to be killed by not rolling over.

When life or death is a matter of moments, the cops are only a box of glazed yeast donuts away ... unless you have a dog to be shot.

So basically, he stood his ground. You see, this really pisses these cowards off. They want whitey to lay quietly and take their beating, or run from them so they can shoot them in the back. This is what the Trayvon race hustlers are preaching to these rage filled animals being raised in the sewers of America.

Ms. Taylor and Cotton:

According to news reports:

‘Our information is that the individual fought back and that may have made this, you know, a worse situation,’ said Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub in a Monday press conference.

Has the Police Chief retracted this remarkably stupid “Blame The Victim” statement yet? If not, I highly recommend he stop blaming innocent victims in his jurisdiction, place blame on perpetrators where it belongs, and work on preventing crime rather than commenting vapidly after the fact.

Sincerely,

i used to suspect that the State had a problem with the proletariat exercising their individual right of self defense. All doubt is now gone.

The State is becoming the biggest single threat to our safety.
