Bullshit makes the flowers grow.
Quote:No charges for Chicago cop who gunned down Ronald Johnson as he ran away
Quote:Assistant U.S. Attorney Lynn McCarthy said officers saw the weapon in Johnson’s hand after he fell to the ground.
Which means that even if they aren't fucking lying (dubious) they did not know he was armed when they shot him. So they just shot a guy in the back and this DA is okay with that.
Based on what I know of the incident Johnson was a dummy. He and his pals had been to a party and while they were leaving one or more shooters shot up their car. They had initially thought about going to the police station but then they decided to return to the scene of the shooting. I suppose they had forgotten their brains and common sense. The local yokels started crying to 911 so that's a death sentence for someone when the crazy cops show up.
Johnson and his pals were black guys who had lived in Chicago all of their lives, most likely. So they should have know what was going to happen when they ran across a gang of crazy Chicago cops. It happened. Johnson got blown away. His pals were luckier but they are still probably looking for their couple of brain cells and one bit of common sense. It's doubtful is they will die of old age, especially if they stay in Chicago.
