So despicable. How much are they willing to pay to keep these brutal cops on the streets?

What is so awful is that the taxpayers end up having to pay for it.
(For instance, the city of Inkster wants a one time tax increase to pay for the settlement of 1.4 million with Floyd Dent because the city’s liability insurance only allows for payouts above 2 million dollars.)

The problem with these look-a-like pellet guns is that they look like the real thing, you just can’t tell until you see it up close and hold them.

While Tamir had pointed the gun (not proven at other people but it does show video of him pointing it) he wasn’t pointing it at the cops, it was in his waistband, he started to lift his shirt and the police shot.

This is turning into a “pass the buck” situation. Cops did an investigation but didn’t actually file so they pass the buck to the prosecutor who most likely will pass the buck to a grand jury. If a grand jury comes back with no charges they (police and prosecutor) can sit back and said it wasn’t us, the grand jury made the decision.
I have always had a problem with the driver of the police vehicle. I still don’t see the rationale of driving up to a potential shooter within a couple of feet and not giving themselves or Tamir any chance or options.

A copy of the complaint and the story is on;
