(Before It's News)

Rumain Brisbon, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Phoenix, Arizona, Tuesday night.

 

In a string of cases involving unarmed black men dying at the hands of officers the last several months, another incident hits news.

According to a report published by USA Today, an officer in Phoenix says he felt threatened by 34-year-old Rumain Brisbon, so he used lethal force. The encounter led to Brisbon getting shot twice and dying from his gunshot wounds at a north Phoenix apartment complex.

A “detailed account” of what resulted in Brisbon’s death was released by the police department. The police department’s account is being argued by some witnesses and community activists, nonetheless. Those people are saying the officer’s force was “excessive” and that Brisbon’s death was “unwarranted.”  Read more

A friend who was with an unarmed black man killed by a white Phoenix police officer on Tuesday said cops are misleading the public about how the shooting unfolded and accused police of papering over their mistakes by focusing on details that hurt his friend’s reputation.

Rumain Brisbon, 34, died Tuesday after being shot twice by an officer who police said thought Brisbon had a gun. The fatal encounter started, according to police, when Brisbon fled from his Cadillac SUV into an apartment after an officer tried questioning him about possible drug-dealing from the vehicle.

But that’s not how the killing really happened, said Brandon Dickerson, Brisbon’s friend who was in the SUV when the unnamed officer pulled the trigger around 6 p.m. MOREHERE

  • :idea: :arrow: Remember, do no harm to fellow freedom Lovers of any color. Remember that the 1% is trying to make this a race and color issue; which it is not! It is the 99% of all citizens against the 1%! Color has nothing to do with it, as we the people only want our criminal corrupt government illegal laws and bankers/corporations from ruling all of us. Do no harm or damage to your neighbors property, or persons! It needs to go to the treasonous corrupt offices in uniform protecting the DC criminals power over its people! If this clueless agressers going up against the will of the people are traitors to their oath, their country, and that that of all past veterans who lost their lives for our country.

    Since these criminals in uniform will do harm to you and your children, remember, they also have spouses and children that will left alone in their home. Imagine if the citizens of your community gets them to the front lines after peacefully explaining their fathers treasonous actions are acting as criminals. Do you think the fathers will harm their very own loved ones and finally put down their weapons?

    Do these forces really think they will be going home to their peaceful home after they do harm to their very neighbors? Imagine if they take the life of a fellow neighbor. Do they really thing that the community will allow them and their family to live in their home peacefully, after they harmed children? Don’t they understand that their family will be on the recieving end of whatever force they give to the fellow community? Do they really think they and their families will live a more peaceful life after they taken up arms against its very neighbors? How can their community be safer after they are the criminal gang doing harm to its comm;unity.

    The more criminal uniform officers you community can keep from the martial law scene will weaken the DC powers over the community. The feds gave military grade weapons to each city because these are the very forces that DC needs to keep their power over the people. If these police officers put their weapons down, that community will be free from the corrupt DC powers, and power will go back to its very people.

    Is their anything that these criminal gangs in police uniforms will not do for money? How will hilstory look at these WW2 SS officers that will surpress its very own citizens? They are the traitors to the US Consitution, and shown they love power more then their loved ones. By them leaving their families alone, the citizens can go into their homes and control and bring their loved ones to the front lines so these officers can put down their weapons; and at the same time, understand how the people feel with this criminal gang of uniformned officers.
