What Happened To Saheed Vassell?

Saheed Vassell was killed by the NYPD, the country's most controversial law agency.
In the wake of the police killing of Stephon Clark, another one. This one was done by the most controversial police force in the United States.

The White House said that police shootings of unarmed people of color is a "local issue." This has riled up Black Lives Matter. They believe that Donald J. Trumps grasp on reality is simply "White."

The New York Police Department is doing damage control after it was revealed four of their officers responded to a deranged man holding a metal pipe. It was a shower head. 

The NYPD killed 34 year old Saheed Vassell in Brooklyn. The officers responded to 911 calls of a man holding a silver object that resembled a gun.
He was on camera with an object.
Three undercover and one uniformed officers fired 10 rounds into Vassell.

He was immediately killed by the rounds. 

Vassell was mentally ill and had numerous run ins with the law. 

His son, Tyshawn was angry that the law killed his father.

The NYPD said that their officers responded with deadly force because they ordered the suspect to drop the weapon. Others said that they ran up on without warning and shot him upon confrontation.
Remember this.
There will protests against the NYPD and Bill de Blasio in regards to the latest shooting. There have been concerns that the "cop fear for your life defense" is an excuse for murder.

Far too long, cops used that excuse to get away with murder. If you're afraid for your life, why become a cop?

They can arrest white and Asian shooters without incident. Black and Hispanic men who are shooters or unarmed are shot without question.
