Hint it wasn't her, and the officer who made the claim he saw her with a gun (who later backtracked testifying he never saw her with a gun) never claimed she stole the gun and killed the officer with it, she was hit with multiple bullets with an expert claiming the clavicle injury wasn't possible if her arms weren't raised, refuting the officer's initial claim that she was firing bullets at him when he then fired his weapon, hitting her.

Since May 2, 2005, the FBI has classified Downwinder Dec 2014 #21

Is that reason enough to submit her to torture, or merely federal prosecution? nt MrScorpio Dec 2014 #22

According to Shakur, Downwinder Dec 2014 #23

I'm sure that she's been beaten and treated in ways that could be described as "torture" in the past MrScorpio Dec 2014 #25

My understanding is that domestic terrorists go to Downwinder Dec 2014 #26

That is, of course, perhaps when they're NOT sentenced to probation instead... MrScorpio Dec 2014 #27

One day I looked into the details of all her cases JonLP24 Dec 2014 #9

Question about the details Jim Lane Dec 2014 #31

It is inaccurate, because she was convicted of a second murder, also, that of Fayd Shakur. msanthrope Dec 2014 #32
