Good for the police to release the footage quickly to inject some facts into the public debate. But of course, facts don’t matter. We have a violent insurrectionist cabal that is using the shooting of any black person by police as an excuse to protest and riot. Whether or not the shooting was justified is irrelevant to their cause.
Washington D.C. police have released bodycam footage showing the moment officers shot dead an 18-year-old black man after he allegedly brandished a gun during a police chase – sparking further protests across the city.
Deon Kay died on Wednesday after he was shot in the chest by a Metropolitan Police officer identified on Thursday as Alexander Alvarez.
Authorities said Kay was one of two people who fled on Wednesday afternoon when approached by uniformed cops investigating reports of a man with a gun near the 200 block of Orange Street.
Police Chief Peter Newsham said officers had seen a livestream video on social media of a man with a gun and recognized him from ‘previous contacts.’
He said Kay was ‘validated gang member’ from the area and had had multiple brushes with the law in the past.
During the foot pursuit, Kay allegedly pulled out a weapon, prompting the officer to open fire in response, the MPD said.
To make my case:
Following the shooting, the local Black Lives Matter affiliate called for immediate protests outside the MPD’s 7th District headquarters, stating in a tweet, ‘DC police murdered a Black man today.’
Before they knew a single fact, they called it “murder.” Clearly, it was not, but that doesn’t matter to them.
Nord,
Praise the police force here?
Denounce the criminal?
No? going to punt, again?
DENOUNCE!!
So, now the rioters and looters are rioting and looting for rapists and thugs.
And jjf jumps for joy.
Looking for attention again, Mar?
Pat,
What say you here? nordis too cowardly to show his support for law enforcement again in a specific case like this.
Nope, jjf, just a fact. You support those rioting, looting racist thugs.
k:
Any time you feel up to proving your lack of cowardice, let me know. Talking tough on your keyboard doesn’t make you brave.
Nord,
Why do these simple questions get you in such a knot?
You claim “pro law enforcement” status, you should easily agree with me here…unless you don’t really support law enforcement.
If so, just say that…no need with indirect threats.
k : why do truthful answers cause you such pain ?
Nord,
This isn’t about me, it is about you and your inability to stick up for a law enforcement officers in specific instances like this.
It sure is all about you. It’s about you demanding others to do what you won’t. About you calling others names. About you denying facts in favor of fiction. It IS all about you.
Nord,
Just a simple question
Just curious why you can’t support law enforcement at every opportunity.
I do k, you just can’t abide with someone that won’t use your labels, intolerance, and biases to make a statement and show support.
Nord,
I asked if you praised police force here?
Denounced the criminal here?
How do you support the police if those questions are “intolerance”, “labels”, and “biases”?
Shameful.
k:
What is shameful is your all encompassing need to demand of others what you won’t do yourself . Go ahead, stomp your feet, do some juvenile name calling, you can’t help yourself .
Nord,
What are you talking about? I’m praising law enforcement here.
I’m denouncing criminal evil here.
Will you?
And thru the town the joyous news was spread
Ding-dong, the thug is dead! Which old thug? The wicked thug.
Ding-dong, the wicked thug is dead
Wake up, you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed
Wake up, the wicked thug is dead!
He’s gone where the goblins go below, below, below, yo ho
Let’s open up and sing, and ring the bells out
Ding-dong! the merry-o sing it,
The thug is dead.
And another dead thug in Chicago: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/breaking/ct-gunman-saves-customer-thwarts-robbery-20200904-u2p2nypvejgpjozjtkh2azuoxi-story.html
Life is good when guns saves lives.
k :
I know, encompassing is a long word, but I had hoped that you would look it up if it baffled you. Looks like I was wrong. So I suggest you read the post, this time for comprehension.
Here’s another great job performed by our boys in blue. I denounce the thugs.

Pat:
Same here. Good job DoJ.
Nord,
So you say job job specifically on that, which it is.
What about a specific good job for law enforcement in Owens article at top? Or do you detest left wing gang members being arested?
Didn’t anybody tell those 2 knuckleheads that the riots were already over? They should have been arrested for stupidity.
Le Roi praises the cops for arresting the knuckleheads with guns but says nothing about the thug who was shot in Kenosha.
Silence on the thugs arrest.
I guess we can say now, Le Roi doesn’t care much about women.paa
