We had an police officer related shooting recently and the African American community went crazy having riots in the street. Witnesses said the man killed didn't have a gun, was just reading a book in his parked SUV when police came up to harass him, stepped out of the vehicle with his hands in the air, and that white police officers shot him. What really happened based on evidence? He did have a gun (unregistered), which was in his hand when he was shot and he had an ankle holster.... Even though his wife said he didn't own a gun the police proved she lied that she did know he had a weapon.
There were several police officers on-site and when they checked all of their weapons, the only one to have fired his weapon was an African American male. Keep in mind witnesses said he never pulled his gun. There was no book in his vehicle but there were drugs and extra bullets he kept in a cigarette pack. He wasn't just an innocent father, he was a felon who wasn't supposed to have a gun.
Anyway, the police officer was proven innocent and no charges will be filed. But the problem, and why I'm writing this post, is it seems every time something like this happens, several African American witnesses lie about what happened. Just like Michael Brown who never had his hands in the air. Think about what these people are willing to do in trying to get innocent police officers arrested. They're willing to ruin their entire lives even though they were protecting their communities. It also sets into motion civil law suits so lying can be worth millions. I find this absolutely disgusting. What happened to morals?
