(17,997 posts)A gangway in a city is an alley or very small corridor. So, for instance, if houses are close together and have a street in the front and an alley in the back, the little sidewalk between the houses from the street to the alley is a gangway. The name is very old and the reason for it is self explanatory.
I understand that the GSR test is not immediate, as you agreed, it is fast. Yesterday it was said it would be released today. Hasn't happened.
He was in front of the store. There was a witness to the very end of the shooting that stated the cop was then threatening everyone around. So there must be other witnesses, even if just to the end of the tragedy.
I don't dispute the answer about the gun. I believe that it was an error. But I can't help but be suspicious.
A block or not, that still seems unlikely to have happened in 10 minutes time.
You yourself stated there are no witnesses. Yet you said that the story was not disputed about him running and shooting. How can it be disputed without witnesses? At this point, it's just what the cop says.
However, it is that point that causes me to wonder. He, Myers, was with 2 people. Why have they not spoken up? Either they are afraid because there is truth to the cop's story, they have been told not to speak by some attorney or they are just afraid. But it does cause some questions for me about them, not the cop.
I truly appreciate your take on this and your taking the time to spell it out.
