Walmart shooting
He was on the phone and holding an air rifle in his other hand when a cop shot him dead, this past August 5, at a Walmart in Ohio.
Cops kill people out of carelessness or blind stupidity all the time and get away with it.
They interrogated this man's girlfriend looking for something to pin on him and her for 90 minutes before telling her he was dead.
About that blind stupidity, again.
If this is the best we can do by way of recruits that's all the more reason to disarm the irresponsible morons willing to be police.
Naturally, no prosecution, no charges, no indictment, all just a terrible mistake, so sorry miss.
This is one of those cases where the claim a stupid white cop just "made assumptions" because the man he was looking at was black is only too believable.
Thing is, they regularly do this sort of thing to white people, too.
Stupid, you know.
Idiots with guns.
"The officers ran into an aisle, saw a black man with what they perceived to be a gun, and shot him on sight," he [family attorney Wright] said.
The interrogation video, he said, shows how police handled the case from day one.
"They, in their mind, had it made up that Mr. Crawford was a criminal, and they proceeded based on that without doing anything to independently corroborate what was actually happening in the store," he said.
"And they tried to cover it up by interrogating Miss Thomas in such a manner to try to get her to make a statement that would justify them shooting and killing Mr. Crawford that evening."
