If it's a black neighborhood that means absolutely nothing, as they can be expected to lie to the police, just like the entire neighborhood in the Michael Brown case lied about what they saw the cop do. Fortunately, they lied in such stupid ways that it didn't result in the cop getting jailed. They told reporters stories like Brown was put on his knees and executed, or shot in the back, etc. What stuck was that Brown had his hands up.
Forensics showed he was shot while running forward in a tackling position, and there was blood inside the cop car from when Brown was punching the officer.
The post I replied to said witnesses backed the cops story. I was pointing out that’s not true. Only 1 of the dozen witnesses had a story that even partly backed the cops tale. Of course had the cops bothered to wear their cameras we wouldn’t care what the witnesses say.
