Charlotte police kill ex-FAMU football player.

No report from anyone of a weapon being used.
No weapon displayed.
Each hand clearly empty.
THREE officers on scene.
One fired a Taser... almost certainly unlawfully, yet clearly indicating no need for deadly force to be used.
Two fired live ammunition at a then stationary person screaming "wait, wait" as he saw red dots on his chest and held up his empty hands.

Why didn't they wait.
What were they afraid of?

There was absolutely no indication that the deceased person knew the cops had donuts in the car when they fired their weapons in defense of the donuts.

It seems the Police Department has been criticized for promptly filing criminal charges rather than letting the police get their stories straight but I see no reason for unnecessary delay.

No weapon. No report of a weapon. An excited motorist? Yes. He had just been involved in a serious auto accident. It tends to make people excited. The police are expected to be able to deal with excited or agitated individuals...but then again, that is just what the police did in this case.

No readers.

Well, I guess I have few, if any, readers.
Perhaps that should be a viewed as a good thing. I do not know. This day is less and less difficult for me.
