Policeman Brian Moore dies of head wounds
Assistant District Attorney Peter McCormack said Moore and patrol partner Erik Jansen -- both in plainclothes in an unmarked police car -- approached Blackwell on a Queens street after seeing him tugging at his waistband around 6:15 p.m. Saturday and asked him "What are you carrying?"
The officers ordered Blackwell to stop and exchanged words with him.
That's when Blackwell turned, the prosecutor said, and "in a vicious manner started to fire" -- at least two shots.
Jansen was not hit and radioed for help.
Wasn't that stopping somebody for "walking while black," as Chris Rock has so aptly put it?
How many Americans who complain of such things are thinking this white cop got what he deserved?
Blackwell has a record and was indeed carrying illegally.
Ask yourself to what extent the movement to modify police conduct, particularly in black neighborhoods or toward blacks, is an effort to get cops off the backs of criminals?
Criminals whose victims are mostly blacks, by the way?
For example, those cops in Baltimore are being rightly charged for negligence in the death of Freddie Gray, but they are also being foolishly charged with false imprisonment for arresting him for fleeing police, though that is legal in a high crime neighborhood such as the one where it happened and good policing in any case.
Why is Chris Rock fronting for gang-bangers and thugs?
OK, now I think I know.
Wikipedia, Chris Rock
Rock was bused to schools in predominately white neighborhoods of Brooklyn, where he endured bullying and beatings from white students.
As he got older, the bullying became worse and Rock’s parents pulled him out of James Madison High School.
He decided to drop out of high school altogether.
He later earned a GED.
Rock worked menial jobs at various fast-food restaurants.
