Police can’t catch a break.

That's not on them. His own mother called knowing something wasn't right. Forcing him to the hospital would be kidnapping and that's a no no. They did the next best thing and took him to a holding facility. Seems they did everything they could.

Cause of death will be interesting to know.

Sad situation, I hope the race baiters don't get to the mother and convince her that the racist police killed her son

Most likely this. He as having problems already probably based on his own doings or natural causes. But, this is why an outside agent or agencies are going to look into it. Unfortunately, for that community and DPD, those with motives that depend on racial strife for personal power and monetary gain don’t wait to find the truth before beginning the protests.

I think the independent investigation by ALEA and the FBI is much better than the department investigating itself.

48 WAFF just reported those high profile lawyers are flying in tomorrow
The video they played didn’t show much in itself except the arrest went south.

Those are some very difficult situations for an officer. They receive CIT training with regards to such situations. Sometimes in person training and otherwise are online. CMHO have a higher authority and here is some of the information

She is sniffin' 'round, for a big check, from DPD/City

Decatur gone burn. There's far too much to be gained by the race baiters to let this slip peacefully away. I say bring back fire hoses and German Shepards tomorrow to be one step ahead.

FWIW, the DPD released the entire bodycam video a few days ago. It should still be on the news website. Nigerian brought it all on himself.

Decatur po po has definitely got some issues, but they handled this situation very well until they HAD to take action.

This is just damn race baiters trying to get a check.

Fuggem.

I hope I win 100 million dollars but that ain’t likely either. Especially now that NAACP is leading the charge. ACLU will be along shortly. I feel for the family and based on what I read, this man had mental health history. Probably did not receive (maybe he refused it maybe he was not afforded it) the help and care he needed. This is a tragic incident and race and police brutality had no bearing on it but anything that can be done to smear LEOs, you can bet all the gold in Fort Knox that the alphabet organizations will be out in force.

You left out the white hoods.

I lived all this several times in my previous life (or it seems like a previous life). I’m in the neighborhood now if DPD needs advice on handling these matters. Remember it is not real until Al Sharpton shows up. Let me know if Rose shows up.

Yep, add those and get to work.

(Language Warning)

Flash back to the other story and the shooting of the black man and the truck repo.

He did point his gun at the officer that shot and killed him from what I’ve been told as evidence of a body cam.
How can that officer be charged with murder if he can claim self defense in the least as a gun was pointed at him.

I get the circumstances leading up to is hanker up but in that moment does he no have the right?

So if he is found not guilty or a lessor charge and then this, gonna get interesting depending on how hard the race bait is pushed.

I knew the guy. He seemed to be a good guy. He was loosing weight and working out, I wonder if some combination of weight loss drugs had something to do with it. Don’t blame the DPD, seems they did the right thing.
The other guy pointed a gun but he may not have known the police was there. He did know his car was up for repo. Police didn’t have a choice as it was a split second decision

alot people get sick and die, and like I said before what ever happened to the news that the tow truck driver was at the wrong house. if your car is getting towed and you go around waving a gun at night, there's a good chance your gonna get killed. We need to support our lawmakers and not let them to get lynched like that one up north.

That’s been my issue with it all. Sometimes badchit happens

It was a culmination of bad going worse

It’s a hyper sensationalized racial bs too and the whole truth being left out to garner a narrative.

Decatur PD screwed up by not getting out ahead of the other sides narrative. They were screaming don’t have a gun. I asked in her numerous times. I just recently found out he did have a gun. That changed everything just like the too was a legit deal unlike the masses were saying

The other side relied on emotion and facts usually will squash that to some degree.

Just like hands up don’t shoot BS
