The cop in this situation shouldn’t even have been allowed on the police force. Robert Bates is a 73-year-old insurance executive, who donated a lot of money to the Tulsa police so they made him a deputy cop and gave him a gun.
Eric Harris was unarmed and fleeing from cops when he was shot. He wasn’t a threat to them, assuming that Bates truly shot him by accident (he claims he thought he thought it was his taser) what happens next is simply inexcusable.
Harris has been shot and pleading for help, so what do the cops do? They pin his head to the concrete, tell him to shut the f*ck up and when he says he can’t breath they say.
F*CK YOUR BREATH!!
You can watch the disturbing video below.
Harris would end up dying an hour later. Tulsa PD says Bates won’t be charged in the murder and no word if the other officers will face any punishments.
Thankfully technology exists to see how the police are treating wounded unarmed individuals who are of no threat to them. Furthermore, why is a 73-year-old man allowed to carry a gun and be in police chases just because he gave a lot of money? That is a recipe for disaster.
This isn’t about black on black crime or ALL LIVES MATTER, this is about people who are supposed to protect and serve our society doing the exact opposite and being legalized assassins. That is something to be scared about especially if you are a black man.
