GRAND RAPIDS' WHITE COP SHOOTS bLACK MOTORIST DEAD AFTER TRAFFIC STOP--LOCAL TV PUMPS UP THE RACE ANGLE.
ReplyDeleteGRA:A later report at 11pm on TV,described the motorist as black.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — An officer shot and killed a man Monday morning on the city’s southeast side, police say.
Around 8:10 a.m., an officer pulled over a vehicle near Nelson Avenue SE and Griggs Street SE.
(negro territory.)
Police say the driver fled from the vehicle but was apprehended by the officer.
(GRA:He ran--he's black.)
GRPD says they still don’t know if the driver was armed, or what lead to the initial traffic stop, but after running the license plate, the officer discovered it didn’t match the car, Grand Rapids Police Department Chief Eric Winstrom said.
It is unclear if the vehicle was stolen.
Winstrom said the driver got out of the car and ran away because he was going to be taken into custody. When the officer caught up to him, they fought.
“It was kind of a wrestling match. A taser was used. The taser didn’t work,” said a witness who didn’t want to be identified.
The witness said he tried to calm the driver down.
“I told him, ‘Just stay down man. Please just stay down. Don’t make it worse man, and it will be OK,'” the witness said.
But the driver continued to struggle with the officer.
That “lengthy fight” ended with the officer opening fire and killing the man, Winstrom said.
“During the struggle, the officer lost his body camera,” Winstrom said. “We can see that the camera is still on scene and still activated. So, we’re anxious to recover that camera and review that video.”
During an afternoon press conference, Winstrom explained that body cameras are attached to officers either with a metal plate inside their shirt, a vest carrier or by a hook. It’s unclear how the officer’s camera was attached.
“They’re fairly secure if you run, but if you’re in a fight with an individual, it’s not that difficult to dislodge,” he said.
Winstrom said he intends to release the body camera footage “sometime next week.”
“…That gives us enough time to allow the Michigan State Police to conduct a fair investigation without that information being in the public, and it will give me a chance to reach out to the family, who I think has the right to see the video before the rest of the public,” Winstrom said.
The officer, who is white, was injured. Police initially said he was taken to the hospital but later clarified that he was treated on the scene.
The officer’s name was also not released Monday. Winstrom said he has been with the department for about seven years.
GRA:The new White police chief looked like he had a parched throat talking today.Welcome to Grand Rapids.

ANOTHER MEDIA VIEW OF THE STORY.
ReplyDelete(Mlive.com)The shooting happened about 8:10 a.m. Monday, April 4 near Griggs Street SE and Nelson Avenue. An officer, working alone, conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle. Police confirmed that the vehicle stopped had a license plate not registered to it.
Winstrom said the driver exited the vehicle, followed by some interaction with the officer.
“He became aware that he would be placed in custody,” Winstrom said. “He ran a very short distance, into a yard very close to the vehicle, and that’s where they fought for an extended period of time.”
Winstrom said it’s his understanding the fight lasted for 90 seconds to two minutes.
He wasn’t sure of the exact details surrounding the moment the gun was fired and said he expects the state police investigation to offer more information.
Winstrom said the person shot and killed is a black man, believed to be age 26. The officer, who is White, has been with the department since 2015.
Grand Rapids Mayor Rosalynn Bliss called for patience from the community. She called it a tragic incident.

Note:The police chief mentioned the race of the (White)cop and(black) thug,but the TV station could not emphasize that fact enough.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason I posted this story is a)Will Lesta Holt be reporting on this?I believe,yes.
b) Will that cause "peaceful protests"--aka riots to break out?The video of the incident will not be released for a few days.Depending on what the police-cam shows,these TV stations and black groups may be ready to let loose.
The new White police chief acted nervous and defensive today(in only his 2nd month on the job).
I'll keep you posted.
