The real disturbing part besides the obvious is that the police originally tried to cover it up.
They said it was friendly fire, that the cops were shooting at suspects when the off duty cop was hit, but that was a LIE and it has been exposed.
Officers late Wednesday were chasing three men in a white sedan when the stolen vehicle crashed, forcing its occupants to flee and sparking a shootout with police, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
The off-duty cop, who lives nearby, heard the chaos erupt. He grabbed his service weapon and hurried out to help police at the scene, according to the Post-Dispatch.
The 38-year-old officer, an 11-year department veteran, was initially stopped by two uniformed St. Louis cops and ordered to the ground.
But the cops soon recognized the mystery man as one of their own and told him to walk toward them, according to a department incident summary released Thursday.
That’s when another officer arrived — and fired at the off-duty cop, striking him in the arm, the report said.
During a news conference at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, interim St. Louis Chief Lawrence O’Toole said the officer was hit by “friendly fire” as cops traded shots with the suspects.
According to Fox 2 Now, the officer who fired at his colleague told investigators he feared for his safety and didn’t recognize the man as one of their own.
Listen if you haven’t figured this out by now, cops and many people in general think black men are threats just for being black.
It is highly unlikely this cop discharges his weapon if this was a white man. It is only because the man was black he shot him.
He will get away with it because if you are white all you have to say is that you fear for your life and you will always get off.
Imagine being black COP and still being treated like a common criminal just for the color of your skin.
But, you more concerned about what Kaepernick tweets…….
