Was about to ask the same thing. How they say it was no reason to do what he did but this bytch still free? They fired him because of this but no charges are filed.....

 

[Bolzmark]

Well it's in the DA Paul Howard's hands now (NBA player Dwight Howard's uncle).

This seems like a pretty clear cut murder Paul...whatchagondo???

i made a thread on this tuesday
mods please merge @houston911

murder a man and only lose your job... Rip Deravis Rogers

at least update the fukking thread title.

Yours isn't drawing enough attention:

"#DeravisRogers all cop kills man in car, lies about event, dash cam investigation says cop lied"

Use that one.

 

[Ironman]

So you're saying we can't even drive out the lot without getting fired on?? Cop just opened fire on a random vehicle so what would happen if that was a woman and child in the car?? What if the child got hit?? fukk this been the woat year so far

 

[Easy-E]

This is all we want; an officer can't have the same punishment after murdering someone, as I would if I kept filling out my time-sheet wrong.

This won't change 'til it hits white folk at home and they like there was no reason for you to kill him/her.

 

[Momentum]

Never any fukking charges. I'd comment more but that dumbass Michah got the net red hot right now.

This is white supremacy y'all

I actually didn't care how they merged them. Your title or whatever title.
I just wanted all the information in one thread.

The thread is stickied.

You can watch your fukking mouth.

Atlanta cop fired after shooting black man dead in botched car theft investigation

the Atlanta Police Department identified the officer fired for fatally shooting a 22-year-old black man, WXIA-TV reported.

The department determined that James Burns used excessive force when he shot and killed Deravis Rogers last month. Burns was asked to investigate an alleged auto break-in at a local apartment complex when he saw Rogers driving away from him and fired, hitting him in the head. But according to WXIA, there was no indication that Rogers, who was unarmed, had either broken into or stolen any vehicle.

that Burns was notified by an off-duty officer working security at the complex.

Officials said Burns’ actions violated policy because there was no indication that he was in any danger at the time. However, they added that race was not a factor in the incident because Burns “had no idea” who he was shooting at.

“The officer simply acted in a way that we cannot support,” said a spokesperson, Sgt. Warren Pickard. “He had no idea who was in the vehicle, he had no idea if that was the vehicle he should be concerned with, he just discharged his weapon.”


no charges.
no fukking charges.
atlanta fam...
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Burns’ firing took effect on Tuesday. He has not been charged in connection with the shooting, which has prompted criticism from Rogers’ family.

“It’s a murder,” said the victim’s father, Deravis Thomas. It’s a murder and we need justice for that. He needs to be indicted and prosecuted.”

i pray the establishment gets its just desserts.

that cop needs to be executed. capitol murder smh.

For context here:

The APD Chief is black.

From the latest article they pretty much fired him as quickly as possible and their statements are distancing themselves firmly.

The case is being turned over to the state and county for potential charges.

Doesn't change what happend but more of an update from what I just read.

yeah actually as i read about this, the police did the right thing. they arent the ones who prosecute, but they rightfully kicked his ass out and arent making any excuses for him that i saw

so now its up to those who prosecute. or dont

 

[blackzeus]

I'm trying to understand, he went to investigate a potential robbery, and he shot a random black person driving down the street in the head? Did I really read that right?

That's what i got from it

He didn't lose his job unless they revoked his license. If they didn't (which they usually don't), he will be reinstated by another department, get paid backpay due to union contracts, and get promoted.

That is how it works buddy. Get used to it. Don't expect the justice system to handle it. We need to lynch rogue cops.

No violence is not the answer
