Thanks to _____ of __________.org (waiting to see if it’s cool to mention them) for this one. I had wondered what had happened after that airman was shot by that cop. I now only wonder how the jury came to that verdict. The police officer said he feared for his life. Really??? The way he was yelling expletives I could hear the fear in his voice. That “Shut the fuck up,” after the man was shot cleared it all up for me. No police back up, he was on top of the man instead of behind the engine block as is procedure, and he was in fear of his life? Why did he even ask the airman to get up if he was in “fear.”?
Here’s the answer:
“Minutes after shooting an unarmed man at the end of a high-speed chase, a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy told a sergeant who arrived at the scene that he opened fire because the 21-year-old suspect had “charged him,” according to a confidential sheriff’s report.”
Here’s the footage of the “charging.”

Does the airman look like he was charging him? Wait, the officer then later said he was going for a gun.
Then again there’s a laundry list of people this has happened to:

When your daddy’s a high ranking police chief or a former president seems you can get away with anything.
And the complete run down of the case start to finish.

And why no major media coverage on CNN, Headline News or the NYTimes on the verdict-
R…I…O…T
Happy Birthday America!
