Another one. There is surveillance video of this one to back up the officers version, but that doesn't seem to matter to those whose minds are closed to facts and why body cams will make no difference.

video stops right before the officer responds to the raised and pointed gun

I’ll bet Antonio Martin was an angel - a gentle giant, always trying to help.

He could have been der fuhrer’s son!

The locals immediately started lying despite what the video shows.

One of the stories is that the cop frisked him, shot him and then planted a gun on him.

What is there to investigate? The scumbag probably had an illegal gun and made the miscalculation of pointing it at the officer.

So will gun controllers speak out against the perp who had a likely illegal weapon?

I’m sure it will be said that the kid pulled the gun because he rightfully feared for his life as the cop was white (if, indeed, he was...story subject to change slightly if the cop was black, but only slightly)

The comment sections of the articles I’ve seen on this incident are already blaming the NRA and FOX news

Heck, in a few years the videos from bodycams will be called racist.

You heard it here first.

just because the perp had a gun and pointed it at the cop is no reason to shoot him. /sarc

“The scumbag probably had an illegal gun and made the miscalculation of pointing it at the officer.”

One news report said the serial number was scratched out. Definitely an illegal handgun when in the hands of an 18 year old on the street in any case.

Fox is already cowering down to the President.
In response to President Obama’s complaint that
FOX News doesn’t show enough Black and Hispanic
people on their network.

FOX has announced that they will now air
“ America ‘s Most Wanted” TWICE a week..

The professional agitators don’t care. With the help of the media, they will say that this is the same as the other “police killings.”

Until someone in authority says, “IF YOU THREATEN THE LIFE OF AN OFFICER, BY A GUN OR OTHERWISE, HE IS GOING TO SHOOT YOU...PERIOD!!!”, the madness will continue.

The time for “having a conversation” has passed. They are pushing it to its inevitable conclusion.

People just have to decide how long they want to live in a war zone...the longer it goes, the harder it will be to stop.

Leaders?...leaders?...anyone?

You should go around the internet and read the comments from blacks after the articles that allow comments....insane. Thank goodness they are getting trashed like I have never seen before.

The mayor of Berkeley is black, the city manager is black, the police chief is black, and the majority of the police department is black. Hopefully, this will make a difference.
