[quote]As with Trayvon Martin, the black teenager recently killed in Florida, there are recordings of the events which include a racial slur directed at the victim.[/quote] And no link to these supposed recordings. Fucking liars. [QUOTE=Ninja Duck;35519362]There must be a lot missing from this article. I don't understand what accidentally pressing a LifeAlert button has to do with police busting down his door, calling him a "nigger", then shooting him to death.[/QUOTE] Well the LifeAlert pendant signals to LifeAlert people (and through them 911) that something's up, and if the guy didn't answer the door then the police might have busted it down to "check on him" (whether they were actually planning that at first or not can't be proven). The racism that followed is exactly that, racism.

Reading stories like this just makes you feel unsafe.

There has to be something the article does not say, even the most racist and corrupt officers do not kick in the door of an elderly black man who accidentally called for medical help and shoots him.

This article just reeks of bias The one from the last thread goes way deeper into what happens, this one is just "Black guy called ambulance, cops broke in and killed him. Trayvon martin"

I'm very confused on several things. 1. How did the Police know the guy prior to this incident? 2. Why didn't Kenneth Chamberlain just open the door to speak to the officers? 3. If there were two hours between when the pendant was activated and when the Police broke down the door, what happened during those two hours? I doubt it was two hours of the Police yelling racial slurs sporadically before spreading the door down . Alot of this just doesn't make any sense. Also, am I the only one who would really like to see the video/audio evidence for myself rather then reading it described by Kenneth's son?

Article is 100% bias free, creating an accurate narrative, and includes all relevant information

[QUOTE=ThePinkPanzer;35521184]There has to be something the article does not say, even the most racist and corrupt officers do not kick in the door of an elderly black man who accidentally called for medical help and shoots him.[/QUOTE] Well, even if the story is missing bits, they very definitely shot an unarmed man. I don't think the motive is completely necessary when there's video and audio recordings and autopsy reports more or less proving what they did. At this point you could probably just show the overwhelming amount of evidence against the cops and just ask why they did it if it's really that important.

It's only been described by Kenneth's son. Until it is released, everything we think we know about what happened is hearsay.

Wait what? Why did they shoot him? That makes literally NO sense at all. I mean I get that they're racists but why would they just shoot the dude? Why would they shoot a guy for activating his medical emergency thing? I'm really doubting the narrative to this story. From what they say, it appears that the guy is innocent, but it doesn't make sense that they would respond to an emergency call just by shooting the guy. The situation wasn't initially fucked up enough for them to exploit to legitimately claim self defense. I feel like a lot of chronological events are missing from the article, which doesn't walk you through the scene accurately enough. All the article says is that the police bust down the door, make fun of the guy, and shoot him. Why were their tasers drawn in the first place? did they know that he was black beforehand? shouldn't it have been EMS to bust the door down or be the first responders? How did the man know the police would come and kill him? Were the police just so outraged that there was a black man in his own apartment that they just flat-fuck killed him for no reason other than racism; if so, why don't they just shoot ANY black guy that they see ANYwhere? NONE of this story makes sense. Not only this, but the various references to Trayvon Martin are simply pandering.
