Another victim of senseless violence.
 
Mr. McKnight was unarmed, the guy who killed him wasn't unarmed.

Black lives matter. Rest in peace.
 
Shooter has been released from custody, charges pending but the word is he's pleading self defence.
 
Saw on the news that just two American cities account for 1,000 murders so far this year. Chicago 700 and Baltimore 300.

Toronto is not Chicago North yet but another young man was shot this afternoon. Shocked to hear the radio actually said he is --------------
 
Apparently, there are no videos. One man is dead and can't talk. An "eyewitness" said he saw the white guy standing over the body of McKnight pumping more bullets into his body but this version has been discredited by the sheriff who said the shooter never left his car and fired no more than 3 shots.

The problem in the U.S. now is that every police person and white person see a black man as a serious threat to their life and act accordingly. Question: How many police persons have been shot or killed by a black man this year?

Most police shootings have not been done by black men in The United States this year.
 
Louisiana Sheriff Newell Normand Goes On Explicit Rant On National Television Over McKight Shooting

While speaking to reporters about the investigation into the man who shot Joe McKnight, Normand addressed obscene comments and threats that have been made toward officers in his department since the investigation began.

“Not a single witness has said up to this day that there was one racial slur uttered during the course of these events and unfortunately, a life was lost, but you want to know something, folks?” Normand said. “Two people engaged in bad behavior that day. Why? I don’t know, but they did.”

“It’s not fair for him to be called, ‘You punk ass Uncle Tom coon — We saw you sell out to them you rat ass faggot punk.’ That’s the tone of what we call our elected leaders for standing up and saying let justice prevail and let the process take its course?”

This does nothing to lower the temperature. No wonder police in the U.S. would rather be judged by 12 than be carried by 6.
