Cops in Illinois fatally shot a man who stole a car at a gas station and tried to drive away — slamming the vehicle into reverse and dragging officers with him, police bodycam video shows.

The footage, released Wednesday, shows DeShawn Tatum, 25, first running through an alley in Rock Island before stealing a bystander’s car at a Chicken Shack gas station and dragging two officers as he crashes into a building on April 1.

I would say ‘welcome to hell, DeShawn’, but these animals don’t have a soul.

Why did it take a month to get the video released? Is there now a waiting period to find out whether riots are going to happen?

This videos all have one depressing feature:

enough lead flying around to kill an army!

Get the cops to the damm range. Numerous clear angles, this was a one head shot situation.Practice, practice, practice.

The “media” is certain to blame but so is your “president” who spends every speech (or the lines they put on the teleprompter for the boob to read, if he can) vilifying America and white Americans. Not a peep of criticism for this avuncular “uncle” whom the “press” tells us is such a nice man.

Milton Bradley should develop a new version of the classic board game, Clue, called Ghetto Clue. DeShawn Tatum at the Chicken Shack with a stolen car.

So that the false narrative of racism could be estab,established, so that when the facts do come out, the enraged mobs will ignore them and still insist that the cop was racist and ‘could have just apprehended the criminal at a later point.

The left are controlling the narrative, reestablishing how law enforcement should be done (in, let black people go, don’t stop them, don’t arrest them, because that would be racist)

The left are forcing the nation to accept their agenda that black folks are above the law and that white cops, all of them apparently, are racists

DeShawn Tatum..... Only his moma cares and probably not even her.
What we see is black driven anarchy. BLM has them out on the streets doing they’re criminal things. Word is out-—Never obey the police. Just go all CRAZY and try to escape or kill the police. Police who are often Black officers.
