Supreme Ct says the Right to Carry a Gun is Inalienable but in Liberal Cities Cops Kill/Arrest Blacks Everyday for Gun Possession. 1 Baltimore Cop Killed 2 Men this Year b/c He Believed they Had Guns

From [HERE] On the evening of Tuesday, February 24, two Baltimore Police officers, Omar Rodriguez and Arthur Fuog, fired numerous shots at 37-year-old Dwight Hawkins after a short footchase, killing him in the street in his neighborhood of Belair-Edison. Rodriguez, a member of the Group Violence Unit, was also one of the officers involved in the death of beloved arabber Bilal Abdullah by the Upton Metro Station in June, the department confirmed. 

“They went into the liquor store, and the individual and several other people in the store started to move around a little bit. The officers believed this individual was armed,” Commissioner Richard Worley said about the Tuesday shooting.

According to the Independent Investigations Division of the Attorney General’s Office, which investigates all cases of police-involved fatalities, the officers followed Hawkins as he left the store. Outside the store, Hawkins began to run. 

“Officers gave the man multiple commands. As the man continued to run, he pulled out a handgun, coming in close proximity to one of the officers. Two officers fired their service weapons, striking the man,” the IID’s initial statement reads. 

In a porch camera video shared on social media, Hawkins runs across a side street, between two cars, and up onto the other sidewalk, pursued by three officers screaming “Hands! Hands! Let me see your fucking hands!”

As Hawkins tried to run back across the road, one of the officers cuts in front of him. “Do it!” someone yelled and one of the officers starts shooting and continues shooting well after Hawkins has fallen to the ground. Another officer also fires, and someone yells “woooo!” in a way that sounded celebratory, followed by the word “fuck!” screamed in a way that sounded more invigorated than concerned. 

The video is too grainy to see any evidence of a gun, but the body motions do not appear to show any brandishing or pointing of a weapon. Eleven shots can be clearly heard on the audio, although Worley in a press conference claimed at least sixteen shots were fired. 

“Allegedly, if he did have a gun, the video shows he never pulled it out. He never pointed it,” Hawkins’ cousin Chante Fenner told WJZ. “We need justice, and it’s not right.” [MORE]
