They should be questioning the role of him driving a car at a police officer putting others in danger in the process having already got into a car chase with the police. I think that might play a bigger role than his race
I’m guessing he was an angel who wouldn’t hurt anybody.
Understandable that the family won’t accept that their son was a total scumbag.
But it’s sickening the way the wider community rallies round violent criminals in these situations.
The family of a man shot dead by police have called for a murder investigation into his killing – and have questioned whether his life would have been “cut short” if he were not black.
ERM
Maybe they should have question if he had just stopped when asked and not tried to ram his way through a police car. Let me guess the car was stolen and he has a criminal record.
“Oh he s a good boy” = stealing cars, dealing drugs
Some choice bits from the BBC article such as
> “For us, it is totally racist and criminal and we want all the community, especially the minority community, to see this as a racism case.”
and
>”The community are scared. I’ve had young people come to me asking ‘why did they shoot him?’ There are families who didn’t send their kids to school today.”
Never stop grifting I suppose…
There does need to be an investigation, but I doubt any finding other than “it was literally murder” would actually please the people saying this.
And no police officer has ever been convicted of murder for killing someone in the course of their duties. Manslaughter has happened at least once (the Dalian Atkinson case).
Dude was no angel, far from it, but we have had plenty of chases before that didn’t end in the suspect getting shot, but we’ve also had a few where they did. Will be interesting to see the full details as to why the police opened fire on him.
The guy was a criminal for sure, but the jury is out as to whether his crimes warranted a summary execution
Fuck him.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. One less cunt in the world.

Of course they do. With no evidence other than him being black, it’s suddenly about race.
> “Nobody deserves to be shot by the police, whether they are a good person or a bad person.”
Absolutely not true. The police sometimes have to shoot bad people to protect the public.
“All this crap going around that he was a ‘rapper’ and all this crap, it’s not true, you know. It’s not true.”
Then who, pray tell, is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u9bXQWZrZw)?
Such a “kind and good boy” full of dreams and aspirations…who just happened to be taking a car chase by the police, endangering everyone around him.
Same gentleman was charged with possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence in 2018.

Getting close to [house](https://old.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/x7ca5l/_/inbj5hj) on this thread.
With the lack of information the amount of people jumping to the conclusion that it was deserved is quite frankly disgusting.
Simply being involved in crime is not justification for being killed in the street.
I believe the role of race is quite obvious as to why he was shot, no?
Really seems like no big loss to society
Refused to stop, refused to get out the car once the police forced a stop then tried to run them over yeah I’d have shot him aswell
I’m surprised BLM not stuck there oar in yet
Dun dun dun… and another one bites the dust.
God bless the UK
