But aren’t some people allowed to walk out of a store with under $1,000 in merchandise without paying? Didn’t have to kill him!
Killed for eating a stolen apple? Nope. Suicide by cop.
It would appear that if the deceased had paid for his food or complied with police, there’s a better than average chance he would have never been arrested over some fruit and he’d be in Greensboro with his son right now.
But…..NOPE
Perps gotta be perps.
Only thing I know of New Rochelle is its mention in a Biggie Smalls rap song…
looks like this family will win in court and rightfully so.
Another black guy who because of his own stupid actions, is shot by a cop. It seems as if some of these families draw straws to see who will go out and provoke a cop into shooting them so all the others can cash in. Let’s see how much this Ghetto Lottery winner gets.

"Or?" They don't need a reason. They're itching for a chimp-out.
So he reached for a banana, not a gun?
It has been a long time, but there was a study that more perps ended up shot when confronted by female police officers. The rationale went that the ability of female officers to physically intimidate perps is limited and end up using weapons more. We see that here. The guy is large, and he tries to ignore the cops. They are end up trying to wrestle him to the ground. This had bad ending from the start.
Because all the other ones aren’t actually conservative. Next question.
Yes looks like 2 smaller women, and a guy from what I could see.. and of course they were basically incapable of handling this bigger guy when he resisted.
Clearly he struggled, and resisted, I’d have to watch it more than once to see if I see anything showing him reaching for an officer’s weapon, I didn’t see anything when I watched it through but a lot of action was out of shot... But clearly someone thought he had a gun and fired.
I don’t see this as a lynching. If anything I see it as a good reason women by and large probably should not be beat cops... they had no chance of subduing this man quickly once he started to resist.
steals, then fights with police
Yeah. A modern-day lynching.
Always females. Just like the “i can’t breathe” illevgal cigarette seller - when a black female NYPD sergeant ordered a choke hold, and another incident in which 7 cops shot a man with a knife 50 feet away, like 70 times - when the female supervisor fired first for no reason at all.
Anyone stealing food should be shot. King’s orders.
Rob and Laura Petrie lived in New Rochelle. My the neighborhood has changed. The library is called Huguenot Library. Rochelle was a Huguenot stronghold in France. About half the settlers in New Netherlands were Huguenot and many of the towns in the Hudson Valley are Huguenot.
New Rochelle is just north of the Bronx, what used to be the “good” part of the Bronx.
That sucker’s reparation check bounced.
Jean Valjean?
“What were you doing in the store? You were eating the food?”
What generated that confrontation? Do these cops normally ask shoppers those questions? Did the store drop a dime on the guy?
