Reid and the man driving the car were black. The Bridgeton officer who spotted the gun, Braheme Days, is black; his partner, Roger Worley, is white. Both officers have been placed on leave while prosecutors investigate.

Whatta we do Al? Help us Jesse! The black cop shot first...

Yet NYPD is mad at de Blasio for telling his son how to respond to police officers.

Does this mean black cops are trigger happy too?

Then, the passenger, despite being warned repeatedly not to move, stepped out of the Jaguar, his hands raised about shoulder level.

The officers opened fire, killing him.

End if story. He should have done what the officer said. That man brought this on himself.

No kidding.

Cop: "Don't you dare move. DON'T MOVE OR I'LL KILL YOU! Don't move! Stop moving! Stop moving or I'll shoot!"

Suspect opens up car door and exits vehicle. Gets shot. I can't work up much sympathy (unless the dead guy was deaf.)

[I would also point out to the 'reporter' that only one officer shot him, not "the officers opened fire, killing him."]

It was also reported on TV that the cops knew the guy who got out of the car. One of the cops had arrested him as a juvenile for shooting at a cop.

Reid, 36, spent about 13 years in prison for shooting at three state troopers when he was a teenager. And Days knew who he was; Days was among the arresting officers last year when Reid was charged with several crimes, including drug possession and obstruction.

When cops see you have a gun and you directly disobey them it matters not that you have hands in the air. When you move forward towards the officer even with hands in the air you are considered aggressive. Hands in the air can and is often a ploy to fool the cops about their intentions.

Speculative at best. This deserves a deeper looking into by a special prosecutor just based on the fact that the shooting officer had arrested the dead man last year.

What makes anyone think that doing just exactly what the cop is screaming at you NOT to do is a good idea????

TOTALLY racist shooting! Burn down New Jersey!!! "Hands shoulder level--Don't shoot!"

Reverend Al will soon to be on the scene to prove that the black officer who shot the man was somehow being influenced by the white officer.

It does play to the systemic racism and racial prejudice of the policing system.

8 White People Who Pointed Guns At Police Officers and Managed Not to Get Killed

White guys get arrested; black guys often get shot in similar cases.

1. Armed White Guy Has Standoff With Police, Then Gets His Gun Back

Last May, an armed Michigan man had a standoff with the police as he stood in front of a Dairy Queen waving a loaded rifle around and angrily shouting. When cops arrived, the man, Joseph Houseman, refused to identify himself, grabbed his crotch, flipped the bird, and cursed them out. Houseman was intoxicated and didn’t have an ID. For 40 minutes, the police tried to get the belligerent man to put his weapon down. All the while, he was screaming, “The revolution is coming,” and accusing the cops of being a “gang." He told the police he had a legal right to "threaten" police officers and their families.
...
When Houseman refused a Breathalyzer test, officers decided not to give him his gun back. Instead, he was told to come to the police station and claim it the next day. He did, and his gun was safely returned.

2. White Guy Points Gun at Police Officers and Children During Hour-Long Standoff

In August, a San Diego man got out of his parked car with a loaded 9mm pistol and proceeded to point it at police officers and small children who were playing in a local park. The police proceeded to spend the next hour trying to talk the man, Lance Tamayo, into putting down his weapon.

Can you guess the man’s race? That’s right, he’s a white guy!

As terrified children were forced to hide in the bathroom, Tamayo rushed toward the officers with his weapon pointed at them and at a police helicopter flying overhead.

Eventually, an officer shot Tamayo once in the stomach to put him down. He fell to the ground, but his gun remained within reach. The police then called Tamayo on his cell phone and spoke with him for 15 minutes before he agreed to surrender. He was arrested and charged with exhibiting a firearm in the presence of peace officers.

4. White Guy Arrested for Firing BB Gun at Officers

A 22-year-old from New Hampshire faces one count of reckless conduct after firing a BB gun at Concord police in September. The two police officers were making a routine traffic stop at an intersection when the man opened fire from a nearby apartment building. They arrested the culprit, Jesse Deflorio, who was on already on probation for a similar incident. The judge residing over the case commented that he was worried about the white guy’s safety following the most recent BB gun-firing episode. Poor white guy.

Tamir Rice, 12, was walking around a Cleveland park, holding a toy gun that uses nonlethal plastic pellets. A police cruiser pulled up and within two seconds Rice was shot and killed by rookie officer Timothy Loehmann.

That's 8 white folks too many. Seriously, if you point a firearm at law enforcement, you should get the lead poisoning.
