Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I’ve got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I’m in love and it’s a sunny day
OK, now that I’ve satisfied the sponsors, let’s begin our BCT episode.
Like every other carcass that police have to shoot to defend themselves, Ronald Davis was a good man. A pillar of the community. At least that’s how misguided individuals always try to portray them. Listen to this:
“Davis was recently married and was also a father.
“A few days before he died, he completed a facilities and maintenance training program. He’d also gone through other training recently “and was on his way to a wonderful life,” according to a GoFundMe account for his funeral expenses.”
What was the other recent training? Knife fighting? And like always, what they don’t tell you is “Last year, Davis pleaded guilty to burglary stemming from a September 2017 break-in at a T-Mobile store in Brooklyn Center. About a decade earlier, Davis was convicted of robbery with a firearm in Chicago, according to a St. Paul police report.” That equals a thug. And because he was a thug he attacked a cop with a knife and got killed. And funeral expenses? The only funeral he deserves is to be taken out to a field somewhere and thrown in a ditch.
St. Paul Police Chief, Mayor Defend Officer In Ronald Davis Shooting After Body Camera Footage Released
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell stands behind an officer’s use of deadly force in the fatal shooting of 31-year-old Ronald Davis.
“An officer who had no choice but to defend himself against an immediate and violent threat,” Axtell said.
Police on Tuesday released dramatic body camera video of Davis’ fatal shooting. It happened just over a week ago after Davis rear-ended the officer’s squad and then charged at him with a knife. Police hoped the video would help the community move forward but activists continue to demand answers.
A memorial with pictures of Davis is a quiet reminder of what happened at North Griggs Street and Thomas Avenue. But it’s the vocal protests and accusations against St. Paul police that led Chief Axtell to release body camera video of the fatal shooting.
“I cannot stand by. I simply can’t sleep at night knowing that a good officer and all of our officers are being assailed by people who simply don’t have the facts,” Axtell said.
The video begins with Davis rear-ending Officer Steve Mattson. As the officer gets out of the vehicle, you can see Davis charge at the officer with a knife.
“Get away from me! Drop the knife!” Mattson said.
Mayor Melvin Carter hoped its quick release would minimize rumors and speculation surrounding what happened.
“I see officer Mattson defending himself while retreating, and as a son of a police officer … I can’t say I can see anything beyond that we could have expected him to do,” Carter said.
Watch the video and tell me what else he could have done . . . except maybe die.
By the way, that part where the camera spins happened when Davis actually threw the officer to the ground according to a witness.
But activists demand an independent investigation and say seeing the video doesn’t change their stance.
Or the stupid expressions on their faces. I mean look at these dimwits.
“The video footage that was released actually leaves us with more questions than answers regarding the circumstances that led up to Ronald K. Davis being shot by police. We don’t see the full scope of what happened,” activist Nekima Levy Armstrong said.
Like what circumstances? Maybe Davis ingesting bath salts earlier in the day? Because his actions are as bizarre as Nekima thinking there could be anything that justifies Davis attacking a cop with a knife. I don’t care if the cop purposely backed into Davis’ “hoopty” . . . which didn’t happen. The bottom line is that you just don’t try to kill police officers.
And they say they’re outraged Chief Axtell would suggest they’re fueling distrust with police.
Be outraged all you want, but that’s exactly what you’re doing.
“As activists we have a right to stand for justice, we have a right to demand accountability,” Levy Armstrong said.
Absolutely you do, but you’re on the wrong side here, idiot. Justice was served and a crazed thug was held accountable for his actions via hot lead injection.
The investigation is still ongoing. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is in charge of the ongoing investigation. This is only the second time the BCA and police have released video of a police shooting before the case is complete.
As far as I’m concerned, the case IS complete and these “activists” need to learn to admit when they’re wrong.
