“Once our officer caught up to the suspect in the alley during the foot pursuit, the suspect was non-compliant with our officer’s commands and fought the officer,” Johnson said. “The suspect punched our officer in the face and tried to disarm him, which led to the officer involved shooting.”
Never bring a Fist to a Gun Fight! ;)
There’s the truth. The officer didn’t just shoot him for the fun of it.
Thank you.
It breaks my heart to have to say it, but these days I must take every police statement with a huge grain of salt. Because in every police shooting we hear some variation of “the officer was in fear for his life”.
There are certainly many cases where that is true. But there are also certainly many cases where that is not true.
Shhhh You are ruining the cop haters thread... how dare you suggest the perp May have been responsible for what happened
But he was unarmed. This is no different than Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown.
He was murdered in cold blood, mannnnnn!
Thanks.
