His girlfriends shouts ‘you asked hi for his ID’. So yes, he was reaching into his pocket when he was shot. BUT, we only have the info the girlfriend gave us, and she was videoing with her camera at the time. I pray that the officer had on his bodycam so we can know the whole story. If it was entirely on the officer, fair enough. But we really need to know exactly what happened before we pass judgment. Obama spoke again yesterday, from Warsaw no less, about white officers shooting black victims. Rush to judgment from the CIC AND his sycophants in the media. And why was the girlfriend videoing??? I hope we find out the truth, whatever it is.
As far as the girlfriend shooting video, I’d give that a pass. As deeply as the black community has invested in the “all cops shoot black people” meme by this point, I’m surprised more blacks aren’t videoing every encounter just in case they capture anything to feed that meme.
And, as usual, Teh W0n “acted stupidly”. It is getting to the point that even the useful idiots on the Left are starting to wonder if he isn’t doing it deliberately.
Photo may or may not show a gun on the man’s lap. Did you see it? I can’t tell for sure, but it certainly could be.
Yes, we certainly need to step back and let all the facts come out. When I first heard about Trayvon, it was that a kid had been shot by an over-zealous neighborhood watch member. They even showed a picture of 12-year-old Trayvon. When I first heard about Michael Brown, it was that a cop was hassling him for walking in the street and that it escalated to the cop shooting him. Both those narratives were 100% false. I refuse to believe anything that the BLM types say until I get "the rest of the story".
