"Metzger said it would take months before the investigation, conducted by another department, would conclude."

Why? The video proves that it was outright murder. If the video was of regular folks shooting an unarmed person, they wouldn't be free waiting for an investigation, they'd be sitting in jail waiting for the book to be thrown at them.

Another quote from article: "Police told the paper they had to fire because they were threatened."

Yeah right! They were so threatened that they shoot and followed him across the street and then shoot to kill. They were so threatened that they shoot him almost point blank. The video clearly shows that they were anything but threatened.

Fucking psychopathic pigs!
