The thug was a walking in the street instead of the sidewalk. The cop pulled up and said “Get on the sidewalk”. The thug didn’t acknowledge him and kept walking. The cop pulled up and tried to get out of the car. The thug pushed the cop back against the car and went for his gun (cop’s account.) the cop pulled and shot said thug.
If the account by the cop is true, then; suicide by cop.
Is the cop telling the truth? I do not know.
This ‘walking in the street’ is a form of passive aggression.
I see this all the time when I have to cruise to downtown Buffalo. Some moron will cross the street at a nice leisurely pace right in front of you, taking his time and allmost daring you to run him over.
I heard the “thug” was shot serveral times, 35 feet from the police car, and that he was running away. What is the truth?
Why was a kid walking in the middle of the street? You can get killed like that.
***The thug was a walking in the street instead of the sidewalk.***
I knew a man who was driving into town one night. He felt a bump in the road and didn’t think anything about it till later a young woman dressed in dark clothing was found dead in the road. She had been walking down the middle of the road in the dark, dressed in dark clothing, the very thing all our driving classes in high school warned us about.
It was considered an accident. The family of the girl killed forgave the driver as she should not have been doing that, but a Judge gave him time in the pen for leaving the scene of a fatality accident.
