Sheriff's Deputy Charged After Leading Armed Mob to Home of Black Teen: DA

[Suburban Warrior]

A white sheriff’s deputy in North Carolina is facing criminal charges after allegedly leading an armed mob to the home of a black teenager and trying to force their way inside as part of a botched vigilante mission.

New Hanover & Pender County District Attorney Ben David on Friday announced the charges against Jordan Kita, a New Hanover Sheriff’s Office detention officer accused of wearing his uniform while leading the group of people—one of whom was allegedly packing an AR-15—to confront a high school student at his home. Kita has since been fired from the sheriff's office.

The teenager, Dameon Shepard, was playing video games late one evening when the group of men arrived at his door, demanding to know the whereabouts of a 15-year-old girl named Lekayda Kempisty who had been reported missing. Three in the group were said to be armed, carrying a shotgun, a semi-automatic rifle, and a handgun. Kita wore his New Hanover County Sheriff’s deputy uniform and gun, though he had not come to Shepard’s house on official business.

The group said they were going to enter the house and question him, the Port City Daily reports. But in addition to having no legal authority to question or detain Shepard, they also had the wrong guy.

They get hyper pumped up everytime Trump gets up in public and makes the "OK" sign with his fingers.

The Trumphumpers all have one thing in common, they are cowardly racists and bullies.......

10. I know that people still trapped in the South resent it when we dump on the South.

But,


WFT South???


I'm Southern born-and-raised, so I don't want to hear about how it's just a few bad apples making things rough for everybody. I grew up around these people; I know how they think.

11. And if the unarmed teenager had tried to defend himself, he would have been killed.

[niyad]

12. Ohhhhhh, big, brave deputy needs multiple, armed backup to deal with a teenager.

Utter incompetence, cowardice, ignorance, racism. . .no end to the now former deputy's failings.

13. Trial run for future action.

We're seeing this on all fronts.

The GOP is the mob.. one big lynch mob.

16. Attacks on black people are ramping up in red AND blue states. This shit has GOT TO STOP.

This reopening is a new Republican random-by-design attack campaign on all non-whites. Brown shirts are out.
