Anyone who believed that this story is factually based must not understand the circumstances. I guess some people do believe everything they read! First of all the neighbors they're referring to were not urging him to shoot a police officer are you kidding me an African-American youth w/ a gun in East Earl Township! In pursuit of him were 12 cops 6 cops cars 2 cops per police cruiser. He's out numbered they practically want you to believe this boy is a super Ninja or The Terminater or somethign Give me a break!! He's lying face down on the ground as the cop asked him to cooperate by putting his hands back so he may cuff him. However t his is impossible for the young man to do as he informs the cop you shot me in the back i cannot not move I think I'm paralyzed. What would you do if you were mentally ill and in the state of mind of the guy who had this disorder? He was already distraught and physically hurt, battered,bruised and beaten. ERodney king all over again! The family is in the process of healing but the one I feel sorry for Is his mother who on Mother's Day willl remember this for the rest of her life. Some Mother's Day present HUH? how sadis that? Alot of cops are loose cannons running around the streets feeling empowered ! Who are they accountable to anyway? Everybody used to talk abotu police brutality and then immediately bring up the Rodney King incident and the funny thing is this type of stuff happens everyday. only that time the case was caught on someones video camera. I'll leave yopu with this thought. It's when we stop looking at the human race as individuals we as a naiton will unite. Either form a circle of unity or stand in seperate lines and throw rocks at one another.
