The death of Antwon Rose by a rookie cop is going to spark unrest. |
The Black Lives Matter movement exists because of this.
Rose was shot in the back after fleeing cops. This cop believed that a fleeing suspect is a threat to his life.
This happened in the borough of East Pittsburgh, a community within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The Woodland Hills School District confirmed he was a student, and issued a statement expressing condolences.
The cop who shot Antwon was not wearing a body camera. His vehicle was equipped with a dash camera. So it's based on witnesses and the word of the cop.
The cop is in the cooler pending the outcome. Allegheny County prosecutors are determining if this was a justified shooting.
The cop was sworn in the same day of the shooting.
At a news conference Wednesday, Allegheny County police superintendent Coleman McDonough said Rose was shot three times. When asked if Rose had been shot in the back, McDonough responded that the teen was shot in "various places on his body" and said the medical examiner would release further information.
According to the cop, he was doing a felony pullover. He arrested the driver and told the occupants inside the vehicle to come out with hands out. Once the door opened, the occupants ran.
The cop decided to shoot and those bullets hit the target.
BAD COPS WILL GET GOOD COPS SHOT.
This cop was not trained for this. He may have followed protocol when doing a routine pullover. He fucked up when he shot an unarmed teen without justifiable cause. He shot an unarmed suspect without giving a warning or even a thought of the consequences.
Now protests are happening and the catalysis of unrest looms.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Don't expect any federal crimes being imposed on this bad cop. Under Jefferson Beauregard Magoo, cops can get away with murder. The state will not prosecute or convict a cop. The cop can say he feared for his life. The police will twist this in their favor and the junk food media will make it seem like Antwon Rose deserved to die.
