One police officer in Newburgh, N.Y. was shot when trying to arrest an armed man wanted for questioning in a shooting. Bodycam footage clearly shows the man armed with a silver handgun violently resisting arrest, drawing his gun, and shooting the officer before getting shot to death by the police.
Cut and dried case of police defending themselves? Not if you're an activist wanting to stoke the fires of racial hatred.
Newburgh residents rioted that evening after a councilman-at-large, Omari Shakur, bitterly complained about police targeting blacks.

They trash their own neighborhood while others stand, watch and applaud.
Shakur’s son was shot to death by police in 2006. His son was on parole for manslaughter at the time. Shakur was censured by the city council last year for a traffic stop where he acted like a complete asshat. In short, he’s a dick.

Addendum: he was a black panther, a crackhead and did 6 years for attempted murder.

correct me if Im wrong but wasn’t this area a dumping ground to make room for the gentrification of Manhattan and the boroughs during Bloomberg’s reign?
I guess he thinks people ought to be able to use deadly force against LEOs with impunity. Come on, these aren’t the obama years, that excrement no-longer flies.
Everyone blames the Lutherans
Did they riot six feet apart?
These days, an article like this REQUIRES a date. After visiting the original site, I found this happened 3/27/00. So it’s current. Too bad the author didn’t include that.
No, partner, the country doesn't give them enough free things. They feel that they deserve much more than life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
They deserve reparations - large scale reparations.
The Fishkill Correctional Facility is there, right by interstate 84.
it was a sh1thole back in the 70’s
thank you obama we are living the Bonfire of The Vanities
It's in Orange County which is number 6 on the list of coronavirus cases in the state.
The councilman should be indicted.
“Theres no question in my mind that the intent of this kind of nonsense is to eventually place the black community above the law, with no consequences for their actions. Its the road to involuntary reparations.”
I thought we were there already; many of their areas have little or no law enforcement.
” However, to allay community concerns, which quite frankly have been stoked by misinformation coming from a city official, we are releasing these images showing the armed man discharging his gun.”
Did anyone catch that? A city official was stirring up the crowd. I can make some guesses about who that might be. That city official needs to be fired.
Probably no more than that.
Shakur, “bitterly complained,” in other words, gave the go ahead to the blacks to riot. Burn cars, destroy business fronts, create mayhem, you get the idea. Then the bastard laments the fact that police “target” thugs, who AIM FUCKIN GUNS AT THEM, unfairly.
That puke, Shakur, should be thrown out of office and into a prison cell.
