Sheriff: Deputy fatally shot Black man while serving warrant

And here's another one. No explanation as to what the warrant was for or many other details except he tried to drive off and was shot.

ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. -- A North Carolina deputy shot and killed a Black man while serving a search warrant Wednesday, authorities said, spurring an outcry from community members who demanded law enforcement accountability and the immediate release of body camera footage.

Authorities wouldn't provide details of the shooting but an eyewitness said that Andrew Brown Jr. was shot while trying to drive away, and that deputies fired at him multiple times. The car skidded out of Brown's yard and eventually hit a tree, said Demetria Williams, who lives on the same street.

Williams said after hearing one gunshot, she ran outside, where she saw other shots being fired at the car.

“When they opened the door he was already dead," Williams told The Associated Press. “He was slumped over.” She said officers tried to perform chest compressions on him.

Why does being black matter?

 

Ask ABC. It's their headline.

Edit: If it was Minnesota, it would matter. Not so sure about North Carolina. Protests so far but no riots/looting.

 

LOL ... from that snipet it's hard to tell. Is the reporter disappointed there's no rioting and looting, or is he anxiously waiting for it to start? If I wasn't 100% sure there's no complicity in media, I might think this clown is virtue signaling looters and arsonists.

 

The MSM is doing its best to try to make it perfectly legal for blacks to just run away whenever they get arrested. Cops shouldn’t be allowed to shoot anyone to stop them from fleeing the scene. They shouldn't even be armed, according to most leftists, but it’s the goal.

I only mention black people because the MSM doesn’t report when white guys run and get shot.

 

So no details whatsoever...

 

if they don't release the police cams right away like they did for the 16 year old shot, what are we to assume from that?

 

"Authorities wouldn't provide details of the shooting"

release the cop cams, show the public what happened, release all the details, that is how to show it was legit or not

 

Dunno. What comes to the mind of a Democrat like yourself?

 

First of all, they weren't there to arrest him and all black people don't run away when being served with a warrant.

Secondly, why in the world would shooting someone in the back be acceptable?

 

Liberals don't need no stinkin details. Just the race of the person shot. Then everything is as clear as black and white.

 

And another police shooting story surfaces, and again occupies the minds of the defenders of black criminals. And rightfully so - 55 blacks were shot and killed by the police since the beginning of the year.

And also,

111 whites were shot and killed by the police since the beginning of the year. And no one gives a **** about them.

Why?

A MD swat team executed a young conservative white man Man during a military style raid such as would be used in Iraq based on a red flag "tip". Where was the outrage.

I think it's fair to say, at this point, that the media are simply in it for the endless footage of the nation burning. Cops killing white folk doesn't produce that footage.......

 

What they want is "clicks". Clicks generate ad revenue and outrage generates clicks. Boring does not generate clicks.

 

This is what we can expect, going forward, in the democratic party's war on legal gun ownership. Based on assertions of an accusation made, with no substantive evidence, or due process, police summarily executed a person while sleeping. Of course this happened in a state full of democrats. When do you suppose BLM will be rioting? Oh wait.....dude killed was white. No Brianna Taylor for this guy.

 

Notice the coverup. I don't believe for a minute that none of the police shooters had body cameras as they claim. When the Biden gun confiscation starts it will be open season on white gun owners.

 

Where's the ****ing outrage, riots, fires, lootings and mostly peaceful demonstrations? Why has not speaker Pelosi called Mr. Lemp a martyr?

 

if the cop cams support the cops, they release the video right away

if they forgot to turn the cams on or won't release them.... I tend to think they're hiding something

 

No, it does not and in fact, plays against the narrative.

 

At some point it should finally dawn on Black perps, criminals, and fugitives from the law that when a police officer gives them a COMMAND, they'll obey -- or face consequences... just like anybody else of any other race or ethnic group in the United States of America.

I have never thought that there was anything so weirdly peculiar or unique about the "American Black mind" that makes it impossible, so often, for them to understand simple, direct instructions, but maybe I was mistaken. And it's a tragedy to think that so many of these people would be alive today if only they complied with commands to submit to lawful arrest, and to go peacefully....

 

It's important when wearing colors for contrast.

 

Like "don't go into that Capitol building you could be shot", but the warning was never heard over the din of the rioters?

 

Another possibility that the video is being reviewed by the Internal Affairs etc before being released. Happens all the time.

 

I had a case in which a black man was caught stealing. The store manager called the cops who arrived while the man was still in the store (basically, he was caught red-handed). He didn't resist or run. They handcuffed him, took him outside and drove around to the back of the building and three (the first cop called for back-up) cops beat the man into unconsciousness. He was alive but in bad shape. They locked him up. He asked for help but they stalled a few hours. He was eventually transported to an ER. He lost consciousness before they could get him admitted. He never regained consciousness the 4-5 days before he succumbed to his injuries.

I know it's purely anecdotal but wanted to share it because there seems to be this blanket belief system that ALL minorities resist arrest or run or somehow caused whatever a cop chooses to do to them. It's simply not true ALL THE TIME. If we can make a distinction between a low-life white thug not being part of the law-abiding, respectful people of white society, why can't this apply to other races? Why are all black people considered to be criminals? Why are all Mexicans assumed to be rapists? And on and on. It's not right and it's this kind of thinking that makes it so difficult to make any progress in race relations.
