Re: A Statement from Some Participants in the October Coalition and the Georgetown March

<<We would find it very puzzling, however, if people were more bothered by a woman unintentionally being hurt in an unfortunate accident, than by the intentional cold-blooded murder of 14 year old Deonte Rawlings, just a few shorts weeks ago, by members of the Metropolitan Police Department, right here in Washington, DC. Deonte Rawlings was shot in the back of the head, and despite police claims that he fired first at them, an autopsy revealed no gunshot residue on his entire body. Sadly, due to the color of his skin, and the fact that his murder took place in a working class community, the apparent murder of Deonte Rawlings by members of the Metropolitan Police Department has largely been ignored.>>

Your claims of powder residue are unfounded. That test is not an exact science. It merely assists investigators in determining if there may have been a firearm present. The results are not 100% conclusive and are not admissable in court. It is merely a tool similar to a lie detector.

Comparisons of this young man's death, the deaths of those overseas, and the assault of a woman in Georgetown are in no way connected, regardless of this twisted, seven degrees of separation, blame game, you choose to use.

Re: Re: A Statement from Some Participants in the October Coalition and the Georgetown March

No gun was found at the scene. Did the kid get up and ditch it before dying from his gunshot wound to the back of the head?

Seems like someone is going to some length to defend the police... Hmmm....

I'm not defending the pigs. I'm just disseminating the correct information.

Seems like someone is going to some length to continue to rely on faulty and fallible information to defend the victim...Hmmm....
