I certainly hope Baltimore doesn't indite this police officer. That would be such a travesty.

ReplyDeleteWhat race?
So this guy was just walking around with a gun out? Doubt that. More like the cops wrongfully engaged him. Legal to carry or not...... If so I'm glad the cop was shot. If it was an illegal stop then the man was justified and died exercising his rights. And again I hope every cop who is a tyrant and attempts to violate rights or unjustly arrest an American citizen is killed. Time we Americans stand up for the freedoms and rights afforded to us.
