Georgia Bureau of Investigation Official Scott Whitley: The Racially Motivated Execution of White Police Officer Tim Smith, Allegedly by Royheem Delshawn Deeds, was Not Racially Motivated! Suspect’s Sister and Her Boyfriend Hid Him in Their Car’s Trunk, as They Sought to Escape Dragnet

The friend who sent me this article wrote,

Worthless police officials assure public that the killing of the police officer was not racially motivated. Just look at this black thug and tell yourself, “Yes, I can’t imagine that race had anything to do with the officer’s murder.”

It’s bad enough that Officer Tim Smith was murdered, but Scott Whitley stooped so low, as to lie about the circumstances.

I tried posting the following comment at the AJC’s website.

The police officials are lying. Of course, the murder of Officer Smith was racially motivated.

“Deeds is an African-American; Smith, white – a fact that underscores tensions between police departments and people of color in cities across the country. Deadly shootings [by blacks] targeting [white] police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge last month have law enforcement on edge. Those ambush-style shootings came after police killed two black civilians, one in Minneapolis and the other in Baton Rouge.”

AJC operatives Mark Davis and Lauren Foreman write as if blacks’ racist slaughter of white policemen were justified. They clearly support such massacres. They are evil.

Somehow, my comment doesn’t seem to have made the cut.
 

GBI: Fatal police shooting does not appear to be ambush

EASTMAN, Ga. – The weekend shooting death of a police officer in this middle Georgia city does not appear to be a racially motivated ambush, law enforcement officials said today as they prepared to bring the alleged gunman back to the state.

Investigators don’t believe Royheem Deeds laid a trap for Officer Tim Smith, Scott Whitley, a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“There’s no evidence pointing to that right now,” Whitley said Monday morning. “We’re not dispelling that (theory), but it doesn’t look that way at the moment.”

Deeds is an African-American; Smith, white – a fact that underscores tensions between police departments and people of color in cities across the country. [Can someone explain to me what the previous sentence meant? The reality is that racist blacks have been targeting white cops for death, but somehow I doubt that was what AJC operatives Mark Davis and Lauren Foreman] Deadly shootings targeting police officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge last month have law enforcement on edge. Those ambush-style shootings came after police killed two black civilians, one in Minneapolis and the other in Baton Rouge.

The Eastman shooting occurred around 9:30 p.m. Saturday. It took place downtown, hardly a stone’s throw from the police department.

Police, the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office and the GBI quickly identified a suspect – Deeds, 24. He remained at-large for only a handful of hours. Officials in Nassau County, Fla., arrested him Sunday during a 1:30 a.m. traffic stop. He’d traveled about 140 miles.

Deeds was found hiding in his sister’s trunk during a traffic stop, a Florida sheriff said. Deputies found him after they received a call about a suspicious vehicle, Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said during a news conference Monday. They stopped the car as it was heading to Gainesville on U.S. 1 and Teston Lane.

With Deeds was his sister, Franshawn Deeds, 24, of Lumber City; and her boyfriend, Jamil Mitchell, 32, also of Lumber City, police said. They are Telfair County residents, and will be extradited there, police said.

Dodge County deputies plan to bring Royheem Deeds back to Eastman today to face a murder charge. Meantime, they, and every other cop in Dodge County, are wearing badges bearing a black band to commemorate Smith, who would have turned 32 today. All over town, flags are flying at half-staff.
