Update On SE Regional Fugitive Task Force Officers Charged With Manslaughter

You may recall the shooting death of a fugitive in Atlanta back in OCT, 2016. The Task Force was in pursuit of a bad guy wanted for attempted arson and assaulting an Officer (Atlanta). See “Cops Perspective” 10/29/21

They found out where the fugitive was hiding and converged on the apartment. The Officers pleaded with the goof to give up and nothing would happen. That’s the way most/some of the arrests go…Not this one. The fool shot at the cops several times and the cops returned fire. Net result one dead bad guy.

Now cometh the investigations. The DOJ and GBI cleared the cops involved. That’s not enough for the Fulton County DA. He got them indicted about 5 years after the shooting incident.

Through a bunch of legal wrangling the case was transferred to Federal Court where the Marshal and the Clayton County Officer asked for qualified immunity.

The bad guy’s mother held a demonstration outside of the courthouse. About 15 people showed up. Guess most folks lose interest in an incident that occured in 2016.

Once again, all you have to do is comply. What’s so hard about that?

Peace
