A Virginia Beach police officer won’t face criminal charges in the fatal shooting of Donovon Lynch, The Washington Post reported
Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s Attorney Colin Stolle said at a news conference on Tuesday that a special grand jury declined to issue any indictments against Officer Solomon D. Simmons, who shot and killed Lynch.
Lynch’s family filed a $50 million federal lawsuit against Simmons and the city saying that Lynch, 25, posed no threat at the time of the incident and was fired upon by Simmons without any warning.

Yay, more “shopping” opportunities.
“Lynch’s family said he was legally carried a gun since he sometimes worked in security,”
...sometimes?! Mall cop most likely. Deadliest thing those guys carry in their holster is a bologna sandwich.
The Hill loses all credibility as a news site with their comment section.
A bigger bunch of troll bots, bottom scrapers, and morons exists no where else.
“LYNCH”
How many BLACK families are named LYNCH?
I quit going there several years ago
The comment section got taken over by the loons that were too loony for even Democrat Underground
Let’s not forget the Potesta emails, where several of The Hill writers were outed, by creating and a massaging stories at Hillarys request
Sparking yet more PROtests. Has target restocked yet?
I don’t know if the grand jury was right or wrong here. But there is an important lesson to be learned from this incident. If you’re in a troublesome situation and feel the need to pull your gun, make damn sure arriving cops know you’re a good guy.
It was a black cop, it was a wild mele and the guy had a gun up. 10 people were shot that night in the manner that that culture does.
If you’re in a troublesome situation and feel the need to pull your gun, make damn sure arriving cops know you’re a good guy.
VERY good advice. And every cop in plainclothes is relentlessly drilled on the idea that the cop in uniform is in charge 100%. No arguing, no pulling your badge, no Hollywood.
