Well theoretically, they are what we'd want to happen. The problem with these cases on a local level is that the DA has to work with the cops. So if the DA goes hard at them everytime an incident like this goes down, he/she runs the risk of having the cops turn. Federal investigations would remove that conflict of interest and give a better shot for justice.
The DOJ ain't shit. The only thing they do drag the shit until they assume nobody cares. Look at Eric Garner situation. It's how long and they still can't bring a federal indictment? Smh
Shelby's mother-in-law, Lois Shelby, said the officer is grieving for Crutcher's family and isn't prejudiced. She told The Associated Press in a phone interview Tuesday that Shelby "thought she had to protect her own life" when she shot Crutcher.
"She wouldn't harm anyone, we're all sick, we feel for the (Crutcher) family," Lois Shelby said. "But, you know, we have a family that goes out every day and faces life and death. And when she is being accused of things she didn't do wrong, it's too much, and they don't think about our family."

lol. Autopsy will show if he was or wasn't on pcp. It's irrelevant but will be enough for some racists to say "see, he was dangerous." He was also 40+ and coming from a community college music appreciation course. Even that is probably enough for racists to write him off.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A person was pronounced dead after an officer-involved shooting in northeast Charlotte Tuesday afternoon, according to police.
The incident happened around 4 p.m. at The Village at College Downs apartment complex on the 9600 block of Old Concord Road. Officers said they were searching for a person with an outstanding warrant when they saw a person get out of a vehicle with a firearm.
When the person got back into the vehicle, the officers approached. The report states the person then got back out of the vehicle "armed with a firearm and posed an imminent deadly threat to the officers who subsequently fired their weapon striking the subject."
The officers said they immediately requested MEDIC and began performing CPR. The person shot was then taken to Carolinas Medical Center where he was pronounced deceased.
Police said a firearm "the subject was holding at the time of the shooting" was recovered at the scene, and that detectives were interviewing witnesses to the incident.
A woman claiming to be the man's daughter live streamed the scene on Facebook for more than an hour after the shooting.
In the video, she says her father was unarmed when he was shot.
She said he was sitting in his vehicle reading a book and waiting for the school bus to drop off his son. In the video, she is heard saying police came up to the man, yelled for him to get his hands up and broke open the car window.
She claims he was Tasered and then shot four times. In the video, she said the man was disabled, didn't have a gun and was even scared of them.
The video showed tense interaction between the neighborhood and police as the police pushed the crowd back further as they widened their perimeter.

The murderers get a paid vacation and then a second chance at life...the murdered....he s gone.....but it doesnt stop there cuz if he was a father....his kids lost their main protector , educator and provider......3 things a child needs to become a productive member of society...if he was son, a parent lost a provider, caretaker and an investment.... all that hard work, sacrifice and etc.... by parents to raise that man for him to be gone forever for absolutely nothing...its sickening and demoralizing. i really dont know how the remaining siblings of those wrongly murdered dont just grab the hammers and find the individual responsible or their kids and kill them....that shows a lot of strengths and restraint or maybe that should be a law because i bet you there d be less of these types of incidents if the murderer were by law to lose a family member as a result of these senseless killings ....but we dont need another DOJ iinvestigation because it doesnt lead to any policy changes, no Obama speeches, no sensitivity training, no 100 million dollar budget for body cameras, no fucking debates in Fox News and CNN....because none of that matters to the family of the slain.....cant advocate changes because this shit is embedded in the fabric of this society....a change can only come from resetting the game but how do we do that?
MAn im just rambling and shit but im tired of this shit.....and its getting scary....we now have to spend our lives literally dodging the savages and interactions with the police......
