Activists: Man Who Shot At Cops Not To Blame, Police Shouldn’t Have Used ‘Plain Clothes Officers’
The activist group Organization of Black Struggle defended the actions of Tyrone Harris — the man who opened fire upon and was then shot by police officers in Ferguson, Mo. on Sunday night — by shifting the initial blame back upon the police department.
“It was a poor decision to use plain clothes officers in a protest setting,” Kayla Reid, a field organizer for the group, said on Monday. “It made it difficult for people to identify police officers, which is essential to the safety of community members.”
Harris was shot shortly after peaceful protests marking the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death turned violent on Sunday. More
The HEIGHT of stupidity and excuses. The most unbelievable thing is that she really believes that. This is why the black lives matter people have zero credibility. HE opened fire on the police. There's only one way that can and should end, which is exactly like it did. Now, THAT'S what is known as a "good shoot". A LOT different than gunning done a thirteen year old kid with an air rifle, which has also been called a "good shoot". See the difference??
Not sure if that picture is from this year or last, but none the less it doesn't look peaceful, and I guess we can look forward to "annual" riots in Ferguson... sad what our race has become. We all need to rethink the words of Dr King and learn to live by faith and work for what we desire.
What makes wearing plain clothes an excuse for thugs to shoot at any body, cop or otherwise. If you shoot at someone, you should expect to have lead coming back at you. I certainly don't advocate just going out and shooting at people randomly, but if you throw lead my way, you'll be getting it back ten fold. The reason they're protesting is because a cop shot a thug that was attacking him. By this reasoning the thug should have stopped when he saw the uniformed police officer. Tom Goslee
Well in a situation like that.... I'm sure the people can't hear well. And when a plain clothes officer ,especially a white one, pulls a gun in a crowd ,they may not know they're cops. They just see a person with a gun and defend themselves. I can tell you that if I was in a bad environment and somebody dressed like me pulls a gun or lays hands on me and I didn't hear them identify themselves ...... I'd peel his cap back as well!

DeleteYou do understand the thug fired first, right?
DeleteWait a minute? So if the plain clothes police had been ordinary citizens it would have been ok for them to shoot back (or be fired upon)?
ReplyDeleteWhat?? More stupidity from that crowd? I am amazed.
