Grand Rapids Mi Shooting

[onlinebiker]

This one is all over the local news.

Protestors are calling it an execution.

Facts - White male cop, black male motorist. Black man ends up shot in the head.

Is that an execution?

.....

Fact - the motorist was pulled over for having a license plate that did not belong on that car. (unknown why)
If the cop was going to execute the motorist - this would be the time.

Fact - upon being pulled over - the motorist got out of the car. (unknown why)
This would also be a good time, if you have execution in mind.

Fact - after failing to turn over license, registration and insurance paperwork (as required by Michigan law) - the cop attempts to cuff and detain the motorist.
Not such a great time for an execution, but still......

Fact - motorist takes off running.
Can you execute a running target?

Fact - cop catches motorist - and struggle ensues.
Execution looking pretty dicey at this point.

Fact - cop attempts to use non-lethal force - draws taser. Struggle ensues over taser.
Things really looking bad for an execution here.

Fact - cop draws weapon. It appears to me (this part is strictly opinion - as I do not have access to the original videos and good viewing equipment) that the cop drew the gun with his finger in the trigger. A no - no. This is how guns "just went off".
Execution is now sort of a moot point.

......

My point - execution is a deliberate act. Pre-meditated and carefully carried out.

This was a goat fuck - that was partially the responsibility of the person who got shot.

Sad shit. Should not have happened.

But not an execution.
