PRESSURE TO PREVENT RIOTING PUSHES BECKER INTO CHARGES AGAINST CHRIS SCHURR
GRA:In my humble opinion.
Becker had 11 cases in the past that were officer/thug related fatalities--but not one like this,where the national media and blm wanted to pounce on it.In those 11 cases,he ruled FOR the cops every time.I believe he gave in here to prevent another riot.Sad to see.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The officer who shot and killed Patrick Lyoya during a traffic stop in Grand Rapids nine weeks ago will be charged with second-degree murder.
Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker said his office filed the charge Thursday against Officer Chris Schurr.
Becker said Schurr turned himself in. Online records showed he was in the Calhoun County jail. Arraignment was scheduled for Friday, though Becker didn’t know exactly what time.
Becker made his decision public during a news conference at Michigan State Police Sixth District Headquarters in Walker. He said he told the Grand Rapids Police Department chief about it Wednesday.
Becker said he spoke with the Lyoya family just before the news conference and sent them a letter, written in their native Swahili, about his decision.
“They said, ‘Thank you.’ It was a very brief phone call,” he said.
He thanked the Lyoya family for “their tremendous patience and understanding as this process has developed.” He spoke of the “emotions they must be going through. I deeply appreciate what they’ve done…their calls for peace and calm.”
Becker said the charges were not meant as a message to police.
“I’m never big on sending messages with charges,” he said. “I’m not thinking that Kent County officers or any police officers in general thought they had a license to do something like this.”
He said his office also considered a lesser manslaughter charge, which a jury could consider.
“I wouldn’t charge if I didn’t think I could prove it,” he said.
The prosecutor said he did not file a separate felony firearms charge, as is common, because a 1991 court ruling doesn’t allow it against officers using a gun in the line of duty.
If convicted of second-degree murder, Schurr, 31, of Grandville, could spend the rest of his life in prison.
LYOYA ATTORNEYS PRAISE CHARGE
During a news conference in Detroit after Becker’s decision was released, Lyoya’s father Peter Lyoya thanked the prosecutor and those who have supported his family.

Ven Johnson said,"There's going to be a criminal case and there's going to be a civil case.The charges are exactly like the ones filed in the George Floyd case--exactly."
They'll settle for millions now--just like the Floyd case.
I was optimistic,that due to the lack of any "before the charges civil settlement",there would be zero--or minor charges.Added to that,Becker had sided with the cops in every case where a cop's life was in danger.
The local media is delighted,of course.
