“He said he was at the video games playing videos, and he went over there by the toy section where the toy guns were,” said LeeCee Johnson, the mother of his two children. “The next thing I know, he said, ‘It’s not real,’ and the police start shooting, and they said ‘Get on the ground,’ but he was already on the ground because they had shot him.”

Amped up cops, hut hutting about, charge into a situation they know nothing about, cause a panic, which gets one person killed in the stampede, then gun down the next person before he can even get a word out of his mouth.

Surveillance Footage Released Shows Cold Blooded Killing of Unarmed Man by Off Duty Chicago Cop

Search did not turn up a match to this story.
Chicago – The brutal killing of an unarmed Chicago man outside a west side CHA housing project on September 7, 2013 by an off duty Chicago police officer, Kenneth Walker, has sparked outrage as recently released surveillance video contradicts virtually everything officer Walker, who shot and killed Marlon Horton, claimed happened prior to the shooting.
Horton had gone to the complex to meet his girlfriend Rhonda Day in the early morning hours Saturday morning. Day had spent the night at her mother’s apartment in the building.
When Horton arrived the security guards wouldn’t allow him to enter, one of which was the off duty cop that eventually killed him. Horton’s cell phone had died so he was not able to call Day to let him into the building.
Horton left the lobby and urinated on or near Walker’s SUV. At this point the female security guard says to Walker, “He is not f**king pissing,” and both Walker and the female security guard then exit the building to confront Horton.
The officer and security guard make absolutely no attempt to arrest Horton, in fact judging by the video the only intention for going outside was to confront/assault him. Never once do they have cuffs out or is any attempt made to subdue.
The officers clearly aren’t in fear of their lives or concerned that the public is in imminent danger, as the video clearly shows people coming and going from the building as they are engaging Horton.
Officer Walker, during the investigation of the killing, prior to being aware that video of the incident existed, claimed that he and the security guard never initiated any physical contact with Horton, and in fact claimed that Horton knocked him to the ground and overpowered him when he attempted to take him into custody and began to pummel him with punches.
Clearly this is blatant fabrication used as a means to justify shooting Horton. In fact, what can clearly be seen happening in the video is in stark contrast to officer Walker’s version of events.
Walker never attempts to take Horton into custody, his cuffs never come out, and the only physical contact was actually officer Walker kicking Horton in the chest. There are no attempts to take anyone into custody. The only time Horton gets physical is to defend himself after he is assaulted by these two jackboot thugs.
Walker was simply angry that Horton urinated on his vehicle and decided he was going to assault him as a means of revenge, not realizing the entire incident was being caught on camera. These actions are completely unprofessional, but add in the fact that he subsequently draws his firearm on an unarmed man and proceeds to shoot and kill him makes one question the mental health of this officer.
He is clearly not fit to be a law enforcement officer. No procedure was followed, as you don’t draw your weapon without an intention of potentially using it, yet both the security guard and Walker have their weapons drawn without any justification. You can clearly see that there was no threat of deadly force being used against them causing them to fear for their lives.

Man Dies After Cops Use Tasers as Cattle Prods 13 Times, Forcing Him To Walk
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/man-dies-taser-13-times-cattle-prod/
The autopsy ruled the death a homicide.
East Point Police Department in Georgia has a very clear policy against tasers being used to “escort or prod” suspects or being used on handcuffed suspects, and this case is a very clear example of why.
A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of the family, including the 7 month old son, of 24 year old Gregory Towns, who died after being tased 13 times in 29 minutes. Two officers repeatedly shocked this man’s body for a total of 47 seconds… while unarmed and handcuffed.

Well well...Piss on a cops car...and it will be the last thing you ever do...
Oh yes...He "LUNGED" for the officer's weapon...FIVE FEET AWAY! "Because you know them n**** got real long arms and can jump real far...so it was justified." What a crock of shit of officer safety. "Kill a mundane...Then time to go for coffee...I love the smell of dead mundane in the morning..." Psychopaths.

CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -
The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri has prompted calls for more police to start wearing cameras that would record their behavior.
Now, FOX 32 News has the story of a fatal shooting of an unarmed man that was caught on video in Chicago. However, the victim's family said they're still seeking justice.
Video from a surveillance camera in the lobby of a CHA building on the near West Side shows 28-year-old Marlon Horton in a baseball cap, the brother of Jarrod Horton.
“He was my younger brother, he was a good guy, like any younger brother,” Jarrod said.
Marlon was at the CHA building to pick up his girlfriend, but his cellphone had died. Security guards would not let him upstairs, and one of those guards was an off-duty Chicago Police Officer.
Marlon eventually leaves and then urinates on or near the officer's SUV. He then exchanges words with the two guards, until the off duty-cop appears to initiate a scuffle. As Marlon escapes, he appears to pull out some of the female guard's hair.
Both guards then pull out their weapons.
The verbal exchanges continue, and as Horton is moving toward the off-duty officer, the officer shoots him. Jarrod Horton's civil rights lawsuit alleges the shooting was not justified. It identifies the off-duty cop as Kenneth F. Walker.
“It's hard to see them in a situation where he didn't have to die, you know? I felt like they just murdered him,” Jarrod said.
Last year after the shooting, a police spokesperson said the officer shot, quote, "in fear for his safety." Police reports suggest Marlon lunged for the officer's weapon. The Horton's family attorney, Jeffrey Granich, said the video suggests otherwise.
“Despite the fact that the police say he was going for a weapon, he's five feet away from a police officer who basically executes him,” Granich said.
Granich said the guards could have backed off and called for help, or if necessary, subdue Marlon without using their weapons.
Marlon's lawyer also claims that the conduct of the two security guards after the shooting on West Monroe was just as shocking at the shooting itself.
“I believe what the video shows is a complete disregard for his safety, his well-being, and ultimately his life,” Granich added.
After the shooting, the video shows Officer Walker walking back into the building. Police reports said both guards called 911. Marlon can be seen still moving in the video, but neither guard appears to offer any assistance.
“She picks up her morning coffee as my client is dying at her feet. She doesn't attempt to stop the bleeding, she doesn't attempt to provide first aid, she makes sure she gets her coffee,” Granich said.
The security company did not respond to FOX 32's questions. Our efforts to reach the two guards themselves on Tuesday were unsuccessful.
So, did either of them have an obligation to help Marlon once he was shot?
“Under the law they really have no duty to rescue the person. They called 911, they stepped back, they stayed on scene, they waited for Chicago fire department to arrive, and that's what they're supposed to do,” said veteran defense attorney Joe Lopez. (Wait!?! What!?!? But...but.....but...there job is to protect and serve? I don't understand...They don't have to rescue people??? But....but...they are HEROES!!!)
Law professor Richard Kling, also a defense attorney, disagrees.
“I would think they have an obligation to at least comfort the individual and keep the individual comforted until medical assistance comes and does what they're supposed to do. Police take an oath to serve and protect, and I think serving and protecting is more than just calling 911,” Kling said.
In two weeks, it'll be one year since Marlon Horton was killed. His family is planning a vigil on September 6.
The Independent Police Review Authority's investigation into the shooting is not yet complete. A CHA spokesperson would not comment on the shooting, and a Chicago police spokesman told FOX 32 the department takes the issue of office-involved shootings seriously, but cannot comment due to the ongoing IPRA investigation.

Good job by the government, again... turning the people upon each other. That's how the ruling and deadly force class work in the nuevo JUST-US system.
This all returns to the Marxist Nazis, with both their propaganda and brainwashing fear into people. Well, I guess the only consolation prize is to file lawsuits against, the PD, WALMARX, and the that dumbass ex-psyco-jarhead.
Always remember where this shit started:

Um... begs the question, did she get shot by cops unloading on the other victim? 37-year-olds generally don't just die on the spot like that.
I think from original reports, she had a heart attack from the events that happened? I'll go see if I can find it.

Father Hears Son Dying in Ohio Wal-Mart Shooting
CINCINNATI — Sep 7, 2014, 4:41 PM ET
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/father-hears-son-dying-ohio-wal-mart-shooting-25333238
Associated Press
The father of a man fatally shot by police at an Ohio Wal-Mart says a cellphone call in which he said he heard his son's dying breaths keeps replaying in his head.
John Crawford Jr. talked about that last day of son's life to The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/1rQ47PO) in a telephone interview from his home in Jackson, Tennessee. His son, John Crawford III, was shot Aug. 5 in a Wal-Mart in the Dayton suburb of Beavercreek. A 911 caller told police that Crawford III was waving a weapon that turned out to be an air rifle.
Officers have said Crawford III was shot when he didn't respond to orders to put the gun down. The Crawford family and their attorney have said that a section of store surveillance video they saw shows Crawford III holding the air rifle and talking on his cellphone.
The family has requested public release of the store video. But Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has refused to release it while the investigation is continuing.
Crawford Jr. said he was in Ohio the day of the shooting and had stopped by to see his son, who wasn't at his Fairfield home. The mother of his son's two young children was there talking on her cellphone to Crawford III, who was at the Wal-Mart shopping, according to Crawford Jr. He said she began screaming when she heard shots and put the call on speaker.
"You could hear in the background he was gasping," Crawford Jr. told the newspaper. "I'm virtually listening to my kid taking his last breath."
Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Mark Piepmeier is now overseeing the investigation as special prosecutor. Piepmeier is scheduled to present evidence in the case to a Greene County grand jury this month. Jurors will determine if anyone should be charged in the shooting.
But the parents of Crawford III and their attorney have asked the U.S. Attorney's Office to take over the investigation and determine if there were any civil rights violations.
"We do believe there was a violation of his civil rights and that does have to do with race," family attorney Michael Wright said.
Federal authorities have said they are monitoring the situation.
Crawford Jr. described his son as a typical 22-year-old who was laid back and very family oriented. He had once considered going into the military and had recently said he wanted to start college, his father said.
"He was figuring out his next step," Crawford Jr. said.
The final autopsy report has not been completed, and Crawford Jr. said he has not been told which of the two officers involved shot his son.

Rhetorical question. Why is this black man being shot by the cops not as important as the "gentle giant" in Fergason Missouri?

Ronald Ritchie is more responsible for the murder than the cops, but the cops got to pay too.

Damnable copsuckers....everyone of the jurors.
This ^^^ means there was NO justification. None. He was not threat.
But..wait....
No crime. Nothing wrong. Yet, still his shooting is deemed appropriate and the copsuckers,well, suck cops dicks.
At least we know that the officers will live their lives in a personal hell....
so, I guess there is that....

I just heard a long piece on National Proletariat Radio about this. Aside from the inevitable tying in to Trayvon, it did a pretty good job pointing out how corrupt this all is.
They made quite a point out of the fact that the Wal-Mart surveillance video was intentionally not released until after the grand jury ruled, specifically so that public sentiment wouldn't drive their decision.
Of course the piece also drove home the idea that cops are always going to get exonerated as long as they thought they were doing the right thing (or at least say so), but it was done, IMO, in a way that left the listener open to questioning that policy.
In any case, it would appear that the media has shifted focus away from the "crazy white guy shoots up a school" stories, and on to the "crazy white guy shoots up a black dude who wasn't doing anything" stories. It's reinforcing the idea with me that the media, at least most of it, really doesn't have an agenda besides "put people irrationally shooting things on the news", and I'm glad it's working more in liberty's favor now.
