The attorney for a police officer involved in a fatal shooting Wednesday night told the Post-Dispatch that his client is lucky to be alive because he hesitated too long before firing at an 18-year-old who pointed a gun at him.

"He's fortunate the guy missed him," said Brian Millikan, adding that his client, though highly trained, may have been influenced by the current atmosphere surrounding the use of force by police.

Millikan said that the officer served with the U.S. Marines in Iraq and is "shaken up." Millikan said he and his client welcome any outside investigators.

"We welcome any fact finder...Who is looking at it through a factual lens, not a political lens," he said.

NBP have taken over... saying the black man is going to die with the white devils. (talking about the black LEO and the white LEO)

Great, more clergy I see....I wonder if they also chant with the protesters, "death to LE!"

 

[TheDuchess]

I wonder what it must feel like to walk around so proudly and loudly proclaiming that which you feel to be true only to be so horribly and ridiculously wrong and misinformed.

NTA had B up on stream. NTA was urging people to call the police and tell them B was on stream at that moment and to give them his clothing description. Guess B and/or his minions were listening, because B immediately quit streaming.

A few days ago there was a big article about the protestors and the main point was that they wanted to 'change perceptions' about black males, and show that LE is mistaken for assuming they are violent because of their skin color. Is this changing that perception? The vile chants and in yo face threats?

 

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

Law, Bella and her "Oh please suh, give me a little drink of water!" nonsense ad nauseum.

Medicine Shoppe? Gonna steal drugs?

 

[Dana]

Something is about to happen........lots of tension.

ETA: Are protesters leaving? I hope so!

 

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

Saying SWAT and "tanks" about 30 minutes away.

Not only had the agitators been wishing for something like this (a dead kid) to happen, they REALLY needed it to happen in St. Louis. For the most part, St. Louis, the city, has generally been kind of out of the fray - it was more of a Ferguson things these past few weeks. NOW...it's a St. Louis thing....and these agitators are loving it.

They KNOW this was a prefectly good shoot. They are just using it (and have been waiting for it) to further the agenda.

 

[SnoopyDawgDawg]

NTA saying every time B quits streaming, really bad stuff starts happening.

 

[Dana]

Oh dear, I thought I got rid of Bella b/c I'm watching Argus instead. Who knew Bella and Argus would meet up and chat. SIGH!

 

[katydid23]

They are just ignoring the FACTS of the Shaw shooting. Going to just keep pretending it was another choir boy on way to grandmas.

Saying children are in this crowd!
