New Way To Get Shot: Obeying Police Commands Precisely While Black
In the case of Levar Jones, there was no pre-existing threat, and the only actions Jones took were those the officer demanded of him, and he still got shot.
This wasn’t even a case of a cop pulling someone over on a dark, mysterious highway. On September 4, Jones was already parked at a gas station and convenience store when Lance Corporal Sean Groubert noticed Jones wasn’t wearing his seatbelt, and pulled up behind him. He told Jones, who was already out of his car, to produce his license. When Jones reached into the open door of his car to get his license, Groubert screamed at him to get out of the car, and as Jones immediately obeyed, Groubert fired five times. Fortunately, Jones was only hit once, in the hip, and is making a full recovery.
Here’s the incredible dash-cam video, in which Jones can actually be heard apologizing to the officer who shot him for doing what he was told…READ MORE

Well, there will be alot of civil lawsuits. Too many un-necessary black killings.

thank goodness this guy is alive to enjoy his earnings. he deserves millions and tax payers should start having shit fits about these rogue cops causing them to payout these millions for their behaviors. and i’ve said it before, these cops should carry personal insurance and lose any pension they may receive after service and it should go straight to their victims. the last thing these ass holes would want is to give up their own money. that may straighten their asses out.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but, has the open carry group said anything about the Crawford shooting or are they quiet because he’s black?

Five shots from five feet away, at a stationary target, and only one hit? From a “lance corporal” (whatever the hell that is) police officer? More proof that these Rambo wannabe ammosexual gunstrokers who fantasize about being ‘the good guy with a gun’ who’s gonna take out the baddies is just that – a fantasy.
He’s damn lucky none of the other four bullets hit anybody.

The police are running amok in this country of ours. It’s way past time people come to realize it and start to demand change.
It’s all on account of the war on drugs that we have fearful, militarized police training programs where they are taught everyone’s a suspect, to shoot fist, shoot to kill and ask questions later, especially of the “perp” is black. This cop pulled this guy over and the cop was scared shitless, that’s simply not proper training, he had no business being in uniform.
There’s really no reason why beat cops have deadly weapons at all, they can do their jobs just fine dealing with the at large public with non-lethal weapons. Pulling someone over for a seatbelt violation requires a Glock? Real world circumstance can put them in a position to protect themselves, a 38. cal pistol is perfectly suited for that.
