What Happened To Lamar Richardson?

Black man was gunned down after Toledo Police chased him.

Tensions are rising in Toledo, Ohio.

The Toledo Police shot and killed a 25 year old man they accused of pointing a weapon at them. It all started from a chase that lead to the deadly confrontation.

According to the cops, Lamar Richardson was accused of being involved in an armed robbery of a couple of carryouts. Chief George Kral said that Richardson fits that description was named in several Crimestoppers tips.

Kral said a SWAT team was following Richardson to see if he was going to commit a criminal act and stop him before he committed the act.

The chief said that a broadcast came in for a stolen car from the area. The Toledo Police would spot the vehicle and identify the suspect as Richardson. After a short police chase, the vehicle eluded the law.

Richardson was soon spotted on a bicycle. After a short foot chase, Richardson turned and reached for a gun which prompt the police to fire upon the suspect. The cop is seen on dash camera kicking the S&W 9mm pistol away from the suspect.

After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered and the police called a "Signal 99" to dispatch more officers to get the crowd to leave.

Wade Kapszukiewics said that Toledo residents have to understand that the police are going to get to the "facts of the matter" when it comes to this. The cops who fired upon Richardson were placed in the freezer pending an outcome whether they used justifiable force.

Tension are high in the Glass City.

"However, I know the enivronment we are living in (in) this country and it's fair to say ... all of us will view the video through the lens of our own life experience. As we move forward, we will all benefit by sharing information, being transparent," said Kapszukiewics.

"I don't know what the next step is.....but always, incidents that pertain to race, we need to talk to each other and listen to each other."

Obviously the junk food media, the police union and the city will try to paint the decease as a good for nothing criminal. 

They claim that he had a lengthy criminal record.

Yeah, so all of that is a death sentence.

Again, cops are killing Black people at a higher rate. We are 14% of the nation's population but we are most targeted minority group in the country. We are under attack. Not by just Donald J. Trump, but the Republicans and Democrats. The white people who are stuck in the status quo. They want jobs that empower them to control others. That's why joining the police is a powerful position.

They could make a split decision in a given second. However, even if they claim "they fear for their lives," my question is....."Why are they afraid to die?"  

Cop are expect to take a bullet for their country, their state, and their communities. Why are they so scared to take one?
