Nobody deserves to die like this,i hope the four coppers never get out of prison

I heard that he is going to get an police escort at his funeral,this makes me uncomfortable because he did 7 yrs as an armed robber and was using fake money ,and god knows what else he got up to

The coppers are being hypocrites as they have been kicking the shit out of black and ethnic people for years(some not all)

I have separated the two on purpose because the first revolts me and the 2nd makes me uncomfortable

We don't know if he was using fake money, he was simply accused of it by the person on a till.

And what the fuck does "god knows what else he got up to" mean exactly?

It means armed robbers aren't usually particularly good people,it has been repeated a few times he was using a fake $20 note

No Karen, it hasn't been repeated that he was using a fake note, it's been reported he was accused of it, because he was murdered before anyoe could find out if he was.

Not that using a fake note is even a crime by the way, it's only a crime if you know it's fake and are deliberately defrauding someone. There's between $70-200 million worth of fake bills in circulation in the USA changing hands all the time.

But it seems you've already made up your mind about the man anyway.

It has been repeated on CNN a few times

He was a violent criminal who had served seven yrs,it doesn't take much more to make up my mind and he had fake money

That is not the point though,he did not deserve to die at all let alone like that,that is not my point ,i feel as sick as any other right minded person ,
if this changes peoples lives for the better then it will not have been in vain,i am not comfortable with his angel image I suppose

As I said,i separate the murder from my uncomfortable feelings about the other things that I mentioned,i am not sure an armed robber should be getting a police escort to his funeral by cops,some of whom have probably roughed up black and ethnic for years

Something about the cops all acting that they are the only bad apples in the forces also doesn't sit right

Just musing in my current all over the place mood

No. Clearly.

Fuck the past 15 years of a completely clean record. Fuck the activism he was doing to try and stop young people falling into gun violence like he did.

He did 5 years (5 not 7, not that you're bothered) for a robbery in 2005 so he must have been committing another crime here.

In response to your edit, he has an "angel image" because not only was he a man who had done something incredibly hard in turning his life around, but the police had no idea who he was. He wasn't a "former armed robber" when they murdered him, he was just another black man.

He has been in jail five times,armed robbery and several drug offences, so like I said......he has done one video pleading to young people to not follow him otherwise he just got on with his life

Instead of going on the attack try and understand what I said I was feeling in my first post and for once in your life don't cherry pick from my posts

What you said was you're uncomfortable with the Police in his home city offering to escort his body during the funeral because you've already decided he was guilty and had decided he'd committed all sorts of other crimes not known about because was a bad person.

A pretty good timeline of how criminals are failed by the US criminal justice system there. Not that it's entirely down to the system, but it's very easy over there to get convicted of one crime and suddenly find that continuing a life of petty crime is one of the few options left to you to get by. And 10 months for a gram of cocaine. What a big time dealer. I'm surprised he didn't live in something akin to the Playboy mansion with the connections he must have had to get a whole gram.

Well turns out he had several convictions ,/jail time for drug crimes,so all known but that didn't fit your narrative

Have a think if you think a violent criminal should be given a police escort and whether you think the cops who are going to be doing it should be so they can look like we are nothing like the cops that killed him even though he was one of many who cops roughed up every day,there are a lot of cops breathing a sigh of relief it wasn't them being filmed,race crime from cops to black and ethnic groups is rife in America and has been for a long time

That is the fucking point

A lot of this makes me uncomfortable

At the center of this is an horrific murder on camera and I hope they get suitable sentences and suitable treatment whilst in there
