After the officers' woke him, a three-hour stand-off followed until Boyd offered to go with the officers. But as Boyd gathered his belongings, a flash grenade was fired, and he dropped his items and, reportedly, revealed a pair of knives. He then turned away as two of the officers shot six live rounds, using assault rifles, into his back. The FBI is now investigating the shooting.
Yes, but they followed proper procedure in handcuffing the corpse after the dog chewing confirmed he was dead as a nail. I also don't doubt that they dutifully read the corpse his Miranda rights. I'm sure the cops will never see any judicial consequences.
America is a country of knee-jerk reactionists, who refuse to step away from their black and white, one fits all, ideology.
We refuse to criticize the cops because they are Hero's that protect us from the local boogy men, and we can't criticize the soldiers because they are the "heros" that protect us from the foreign boogy men. We can't criticise the robber barrons because they are the "heros" that provide us jobs. We can't can't fight for moderation or a middle ground because multi-factor questions are simply too hard for the 'mercans.
