“Yes, but one street witness is saying his hands were up the whole time of the incident, another witness (the other “male” he was walking with, probably fellow gang member) says that he put his hands up and turned around after he was shot. So which is it? And why would you believe these people anyways?”
Yes, I’m sure every “Affie” is a liar. As for believing? Why would I believe the cops? Time and again, they are caught lying to cover themselves. Cops have no credibility.
And if they can do nothing else, it is the most over used “He reached for his waist band,” excuse. Once or twice, I might have bought. As many times as they’ve used it? It sounds a little like they are training themselves to immediately use that one if nothing else works.
You are out of line for implying I am a racist. My opinion has nothing to do with his color and everything to do with his own behavior as being a proud gangbanger in the picture his family provided to the press. It is likely that the unknown “male” he was walking with was also a gangbanger, no? And you will take his word as gospel?
Speaking of gospel, how can you possible put any faith into a CBS story? If you read other articles, you’ll see there is a lot of conflicting info coming from the family about what he was doing there or even where he was living. The family at one point said he was visiting his grandmother after going to the store, another article said he was living with her for the summer?
Regarding the police covering themselves, the shooting was by a young cop alone on a urban street, a member of the Furgusen P.D. They immediately turned the investigation over to the St. Louis County P.D.
I’m just saying that there is a lot of reason to suspend judgment on this case until more info is out rather than be knee-jerk “anti-cop”.
