A Florida sheriff called for calm after a 28-year-old unarmed black man in a stolen car was shot and critically wounded early on Monday by a white officer, after witness reports that the man had his hands up and amid racially charged protests nationwide about police violence.

Here we go again.

First, consider the source.

Wait for more reliable reports.

I can’t wait for cameras. It will vindicate officers almost all the time.

[Mr. K]

The media will ignore the “in a stolen car” part of this

Even now they are not bothering to say he STOLE the car, only that he was IN a stolen car...

He was a gentle giant, an angel who did no wrong...

Must have been kidnapped by the bloke who stole the car though...

Sheriff Demings, who himself is African American and was surrounded by six religious leaders from the black community, said investigators have found some eyewitness accounts that conflict with that of the officer involved.

What's with black "religious leaders" thinking they need to stick their noses into everything, especially if there is a camera around? Here we go again with lying witnesses.

"Here we go again."

Of course. Every "Bro" shot by the cops will be "he had hands up". Its important to intimidate the police, as the criminal mentality needs to be protected.

This needs to labeled "Obama-Holder's war on Police".

That’s what they all say now.

“unarmed black man in a stolen car”

Just once I’d like to see that the poor victim was NOT in the process of something illegal.

Such crimes themselves would’ve gotten anyone shot in a more decent civilized morally straight age.

unarmed balck man this...mr and mizz media!

Bartee had a history of arrests on at least 45 charges since 1999, according to a list provided by the sheriff, but the deputy was not aware of his background at the time of the shooting, Demings said.

Must have been kidnapped by the bloke who stole the car though...

let's not jump to conclusions, now...

For all we know, this could be an SUV, and the alleged "car" kinda just stole itself.

Here is the picture of him:

Now, now, he was probably in the stolen car looking through the glove box to find the insurance papers so he could return it the rightful owners.

Why do they need “leaders”?

[MeshugeMikey]

[trisham]

The man who was shot had a lengthy criminal history.
