him, and I hope the cop who killed him never knows peace again...cold blooded murderer despite the laughable excuses...and by the way running away is not an excuse for a cop to shoot you. Also, how many white kids have guns but are shot by the police? I have not heard of any. I hope the person who called the cops feels like crap forever too. Clearly. We have White men and women arriving at grocery stores with longs guns...but a Black kid is a threat.

My daughter's boyfriend was Black. She dated him for over a year. I was in the car twice when he got pulled over...never happened with any of her White boyfriends by the way. The cop got out of the car in a very aggressive, belligerent, angry matter and for what a failure to signal appropriately. The cop was spoiling for a fight. I asked him how soon you were supposed to turn on your signal because then you get hit when people think you are turning...I asked what specific law was on the books...he backed down some when he saw me and my daughter (White).
