Yea, there's a whole lotta wtf with this story.
9/17/2013 7:05:53 AM
Fuck that. If my wife was home alone or with the kids and anybody we don't know was banging extremely loudly on the door at 2:30 in the morning, I want her to call the cops. I don't see how her actions were unreasonable at all. Still not understanding what transpired once the police arrived though. Several parts of the story need further explanation at that point. Where was his cellphone so he could call for help? Instead he runs around making a shitload of noise at 2:30 in the morning? He "ran" at the cops once they arrived. What the hell is that? And why did this cause them to attempt to tase and then shoot him? Either way, I don't think her actions are unjustifiable. White guy, black guy, whatever it makes no difference. If my wife was home alone, or even if I was home at the time and a stranger starts randomly making a shitload of noise banging on my door and scaring my family, I am going to call the police.

My mom was home alone and 2 black men knocked on the front door in the middle of the day. She was able to see the front door from an adjacent window and saw them pulling masks over their faces just before they kicked the door in. She called 911 then went into the walk in closet and pulled a bunch of clothes over her. Luckily there was a cop less than 5 minutes away. Both men were caught and had loaded guns on them.

^^ exactly, how the fuck is it her fault, and how could any sane person blame her??? WTF.^ damn... Glad she prevailed!
9/17/2013 7:39:32 AM
the only thing I am having trouble grasping is how the auto accident took place. This wasn't a main thoroughfare but yet his car was so severely damaged he had to escape out of the rear window. just a really bizarre and tragic chain of events but I'm glad to see that the officer was charged as quickly as he was.
9/17/2013 7:49:12 AM
Hate to say it but a lot of home invasion/B&E events have happened when somebody knocks on the door asking for help, to use your phone, or whatever and once they gain entrance, pull a weapon on the homeowner. To me its not a race issue, its just being prudent and safe. Better for her to call the cops then just pulling a gun and killing the guy. Normally I would say let the "professionals" handle it, but does not appear to be the case with this one particular police officer.
9/17/2013 7:51:13 AM
agreed. i am not placing any blame on the female 911 caller. I just hope that her call wasn't sensationalized making the officers rush to judgement about what was actually happening. just the facts ma'amalso, that officer looks like such a scuz]

^^^reading is key
9/17/2013 8:31:37 AM
ok, that wasn't in any of the reports i read yesterday and i only skimmed over the OP's link.
9/17/2013 8:39:48 AM
woman did exactly what I hope my wife would do. The cop obviously acted wrongly.
9/17/2013 9:01:48 AM
I don't get any hate for the woman... it's 2:30 AM and there is a stranger banging on the door. A call to 911 is in order. Now maybe, if after she called 911, she could get a better look and understanding of the situation, then she could have done something differently, but overall it's hard to blame her for what she did.This is all on a over zealous cop. Voluntary manslaughter is getting off light.

^This.I'm actually impressed the CPD has already leveled charges at the cop in question.
9/17/2013 11:24:04 AM
i'd bet that the woman wouldn't let a white guy in at 2:30 am either, my wife sure as hell would not
9/17/2013 11:24:56 AM
ITT Blackjesus really shows his ass.The lady did the right thing. It's sick that you blame her for the cop's actions.[Edited on September 17, 2013 at 11:52 AM. Reason : l]

9/17/2013 4:42:46 PM
ok ten times is excessive, but if you charge at a cop you gonna get popped at least onceand you better try to fall backwards because fallin forward will get you shot again
9/17/2013 4:44:25 PM
three cops arrive on scene. only one discharges weapon.
9/17/2013 4:47:14 PM
seems like to me that didnt warn the dude to stop. 12 shots, 10 hit the guy. One cop.
9/17/2013 4:50:39 PM
27 hit your crew6 went into you
9/17/2013 5:27:13 PM
Some dude in Durham got put down by the cops just now walkin around downtown with a gun threatening to kill himself
9/17/2013 6:23:11 PM
why they have to kill him if he was only gonna kill himself....police are not judge, jury, and executioner. Its a fucking job, people seem to think cops are special. Any joe can become a cop. FUCK THE POLICE
9/17/2013 6:27:11 PM
Proll threatening others too plus he shot at the cops I thinkThey shot him once in the chest[Edited on September 17, 2013 at 6:30 PM. Reason : C]
9/17/2013 6:29:50 PM
Durham guy's condition (which I just read about) wasnt disclosed and he was shot after he pointed his gun at one of the officers on the scene. They had also called family members to try and help subdue him. Sucks.Both stories suck.
9/17/2013 6:30:17 PM
Nah that niggas dead now
9/17/2013 6:32:55 PM
1 shot to the chest, its over. Another innocent black man shot down for asking for help. Suicide is a cry for help.
9/17/2013 6:34:48 PM
Not that it justifies what happened, but the dude was tazed and he kept on coming at the cop.
9/17/2013 9:56:43 PM
it never sucks when a guy who points a gun at a cop gets shot
9/17/2013 9:57:39 PM
^ I was referring to the Charlotte incident.
9/17/2013 10:00:20 PM
lol IM REFERRING TO LKBEE
9/17/2013 10:05:14 PM
I'll believe he was tazed when I see video evidence. The entire story sounds like it was fabricated to protect that cop. Unless the tox report comes back and dude was high on molly or something, that ignorant cunt deserves to burn, and so does the punk with a gun.I wouldn't have let him in, but I would have heard him out, you know he had to have been saying he was in a accident. If she had just called the cops and said this man says he was in a accident, maybe the trigger happy cop wouldn't have shown up ready to kill. This is a case of a white bitch being stupid. If it was a white man her ass would have massaged his wound and sucked him off until the cops got there.
9/17/2013 10:05:29 PM
it shouldnt matter what he has in his system if he charged a fucking cop the cop doesnt have time to administer blood tests
9/17/2013 10:48:08 PM
Just based on this thread, OP seems shallow, self absorbed, and has no sense of humor. No woman wants that, and he probably has no friends either.

before i read that i was going to guess that the tasers were only fired "after" the shooting in order to give Kerrick more "reason" to open fire. I still think something is incredibly fishy with the entire thing.
9/18/2013 7:58:33 AM
The last time a black guy knocked on my door I invited his ass in and gave him beer.No idea who that guy was. Never saw him again.
9/18/2013 8:17:05 AM
BlackJesus kind of reminds me of that ignorant ass woman they always put on the news saying things like "WHY COULDN'T THEY JUST SHOOT HIM IN THE LEG!!!!!!"
9/18/2013 3:00:08 PM
