A white man shot his Black neighbor in Missouri, claiming self-defense. Neighbors tell a different story.The fatal shooting of a Black man in a trailer park is rocking a rural community in Missouri as neighbors who say they witnessed the killing dispute the police narrative of events.
Justin King, a 28-year-old Black and Filipino man, was shot Nov. 3 at 11:45 a.m. in the small town of Bourbon, located about 73 miles southwest of St. Louis.
Police say he was shot by the owner of a home he was trying to break into, but witnesses and family members say he was shot in "cold blood" by a man he called his friend.
King succumbed to his wounds at the scene. The 42-year-old white neighbor who shot him was taken into custody and later released.

"... and later released" -- "the police narrative of events." That's like Arbury case & Texas

We all know it would have been handled very differently, friends or not.

It's like the non-prosecution of the killers of Arbury case.
It's like the non-prosecution of the Dallas area Texas coal-roller who seriously injured 6 cyclists.

If the Black man was a burglar, the monkey cops would have released the security video footage they have to immediately to bolster their side of the story.
Nope, they are waiting for this to blow over, like the bacon-flavored cowards they are.
