Another Shooting -- 4 Idiots Arrested for Assaulting Officers in Aftermath
Another black male, Antonio Martin - 18, was shot to death last night by a police officer in Berkeley, MO -- 2 miles from Ferguson. Berkeley is a racially diverse town with a racially diverse police force.
Here's the story and the video of the shooting from gas station surveillance -- 3 different angles.
Very disappointing that the police vehicle's dash cam wasn't turned on, nor was the officer's body cam. Kinda pointless to issue body cams unless it's mandatory to use them. It would have been really helpful to have that video perspective and audio.
If that's a gun Davis drew and aimed at the (white) officer during the encounter, I'm glad the officer was the one left standing. In that case, Davis signed his own death warrant, as far as I'm concerned -- nothing controversial about it. Martin's mother and girlfriend disagree with me on that.
Standard investigation underway and press conference expected today. http://us.cnn.com/2014/12/24/justice/mis...?hpt=hp_c2
