25-year old black refused to stop for a traffic violation and took off. Cops reported a gun discharged inside the car they were chasing. Did he shoot at the cops? Unknown.
After a lengthy chase, he stopped the car and ran away on foot. Eight cops chased him.
Something happened.
Cops fired 90 rounds and hit him 60 times.
Uhhhh . . . . . no one is still standing after 2-3 shots. Did the cops keep shooting and hit him 55 more times after he dropped? Unknown.
First reports are always wrong.
But . . . . assuming they turned this "innocent African-American who was turning his life around and didn't do nothing" into Swiss Cheese after he was already down . . . . that would be Homicide/Manslaughter and what comes next will make the riots of 2020 look tame.
Body cam videos will be revealed Sunday, July 3rd, during a police department press conference. The Akron NAACP has already scheduled a "peaceful community march and rally."
We don't have the facts but they're already pounding the war drums and gathering.
Let's hope for the best.
UPDATE: Here's the police video of the incident. At 27:30 you can see that he falls and cops keep on blasting away.
I don't think it's illegal to turn anyone into Swiss Cheese after you've shot him, so I don't know where this goes . . . . .
But does it really matter what happened? The communists will use this as they see fit. Whatever helps the Democrats in the Mid Terms works.
