Another police shooting goes to the Grand Jury

[kelroy55]

On Aug. 5, four days before 18-year-old Brown was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri, local police shot 22-year-old John Crawford III while he shopped at a Walmart near Dayton, Ohio. Police have said officers thought the pellet gun he held was a firearm, and acted quickly and appropriately to protect customers. His family said something went terribly wrong.

Personally I think this Ronald Ritchie guys needs to be charged with something. He called 911 and told them a man is “walking around with a gun in the store...like, pointing it at people.” As police begin to mobilize, Ritchie tells the dispatcher that the man, whom he describes as black and about 6 feet tall, with an “Afro,” is “like loading [the gun] right now” and “waving it back and forth.” Four minutes into the call, Ritchie says, “He just pointed it at, like, two children.”

None of which was true according to the videos.

Wonder if this one will go to a grand jury too?

Paid vacation for all involved until their "internal investigation" finds no wrong-doing and no false reporting.

I still think something should be done to that fool who said all those things to 911 that were not true.

May not have been running away, due to trajectory questions. They apparently need an independent autopsy on every high-profile case the state medical examiner's office does... Or better medical examiners.

Well, this one didn't even have to go to a grand jury, what the hell is going on, how many of these do we have to have on a daily basis? Yeah, I know, he could've been going for a gun, but another white cop shooting an unarmed black man, really, again?

I saw that and I was amazed the Trooper open fire, totally uncalled for.

Yep. His version of what was going on got the police pumped up and expecting a shootout. I hope he does get charged.

Just be glad there was a tape.

No recording of this and I gurantee this guy would have walked and his victim would have been just some "typical urban youth" complaining about the police.
