Tailed them for 30 minutes, then pumped 30 rounds into the vehicle without regard to passengers, including a 4 month old baby. This was an attack team, not a simple street cop, surely they could have been less trigger happy—what was the reason for the stop? Broken tail light, failure to signal a lane change? Sorry, seems like the cops were out to get them, got excessively trigger happy in the process. As well-prepped as they were, could they not have queried surrender or something before their volley of bullets? Something stinks about this. (and I am not suggesting innocence on the part of the victims, just nothing suggests they did anything illegal up to the point of the one firing a shot. The woman and baby were unarmed. Mom’s death is manslaughter, if not premeditated. Again, this was an attack team that stalked them for 30 minutes. 30 minutes.)
The store video will show what happened. If Perry opened fire first he signed his own death certificate.
He was a “person of interest” in a homicide investigation, but Cervera said he couldn’t release details.
They pulled in were not pulled over plus firing 1st was probably not a smart thing to do but we know what were dealing here when it comes to smarts on the part the dead ones
The police say that Perry was a "person of interest" in a homicide investigation, but Cervera said he couldn't release details.
Can't they say whose murder? I don't quite follow that. Someone has been murdered, shouldn't the name of the deceased in that case be made public?
You conveniently missed the bit about him shooting at officers 4 times.
Really??? You want the police to just chat with a career criminal who just fired at them??? Have you ever been a policeman?
Did you read the article? With all the media coverage of bad cops these days, you think four cops were just “stalking” this guy for no good reason? You know, they do have to follow leads from other crimes, right?
Also, do you think someone who has just shot four rounds at cops should have a gentle reminder before the cops return fire? One of the bullets went through the sleeve of an officer! How close do you want the initial shooter to get before they return fire?
I also read this in the original article:
***Police said Tuesday they recovered a 9 mm handgun that was used to fire at officers and a Tec-9 semi-automatic weapon that was in a bag at Perry’s feet. Both were loaded.***
I’m quite sure Perry had nothing but good intentions carrying two loaded weapons with him. /sarc
Yolu need to take our medicine.
Oops! They don’t have medicine for stupid.
Read the story and you will see that they were being followed as suspects in a murder.
