What Happened To Thomas Yatsko?

A 21 year old man was killed by an off duty cop.

Bad cops will get good cops killed.

The police are more likely to kill Black men when involved in any form of an altercation.

A 21 year old man who was at a bowling alley was killed by an off duty cop. The cop who was moonlighting at a local bowling alley claimed that he was served by the victim. The victim had no criminal history.

Here's the shocker, the coroner didn't announce the name of the victim for at least two days. They had trouble trying to find the next of kin.

Shaun King was letting his followers know that this incident is a reminder of why police reform is needed (especially with the Cleveland Police).

Thomas Yatsko, a completely unarmed Black man w/ no criminal record was just shot and killed by police in Cleveland.

Earlier today a white man shot 4 cops. He’s still alive.

Thomas Yatsko went to the University Circle bowling alley in suburban Cleveland. No one expected he would return in a body bag.

Last Saturday, there was a fatal shooting involving an off duty Cleveland officer. He was identified as Dean Graziolli, a 26 year veteran on the force.

According to family members, it took nearly two days to identify him because the law didn't have proper resources to find their address.

The Corner Alley in Cleveland.

They said that he was involved in fight at the bar. The off duty officer threw him and the other guy out. According to the cop and a witness, Yatsko tried to throw a helping of knuckle style chili at the off duty officer.

The officer decided to pull his service weapon and shot him at point blank range.

The 911 audio was released to the junk food media.





Now Graziolli is in the freezer. His record will be questioned. He will have the backing of the police union and conservative agitators will defend the actions regardless of the act being regarded as callous.

Why was he moonlighting?

He could have used non lethal methods to restrain an individual.

Was he too much of a coward to not lift his fist or baton?

Thomas's mother, Melissa Yatsko described him as a model citizen. He would help the homeless, mentor his brothers and was preparing for the future.

So here we go again!

How likely the cop will walk for his actions?
