Cop Kills Unarmed 18-Year-Old In His Bathroom

[23536]

For the third time in a week, an NYPD officer has shot and killed a suspect. Yesterday an unidentified officer killed 18-year-old Ramarley Graham with a single bullet to the chest. The officer, a member of the narcotics unit, had chased Graham into his home, seen him flush something down a toilet and reportedly saw him make "furtive" movements, apparently prompting the cop to fire. Graham—who lived with his mother, grandmother and 6-year-old brother—was immediately mourned by family and neighbors. "Nobody deserves to get shot like that, in your own house," his bereaved mother, Constance Malcolm, cried to reporters.

The shooting occurred after 3 p.m. at East 229th street in the Wakefield section of the Bronx, when police approached Graham after arresting two alleged drug dealers. According to one law-enforcement source Graham had "eight prior arrests, including burglary, robbery, dealing marijuana and other offenses." Reportedly a small amount of marijuana (the NYPD's favorite drug) was found in Graham's toilet. "Everybody’s kids get into trouble. He smoked a little weed, but you know, like all the little, young kids does," his mother explained last night. "And that’s what he had on him when they were chasing him."

That's some fucked up shit.
Well RIP to another wrongfully done kid.

 

[Mob Rules]

what the fuck "furtive" movements? I'm guessing the kid was black...

Well maybe anonymous will catch wind of this and help us find out who this dick-head cop was.

I'm sure there are some people in the bronx who would love to know.

i wonder how long these shootings would last if every time a kid got killed by the cops, a cop got shot in return.

Shooting cops would be catastrophic, as they would refuse to be one-upped. To quote BSG:

I will use every cannon, every bomb, every bullet, every weapon I have down to my own eye teeth to end you! I swear it! I'm coming for all of you!

If cops were personally sued after every shooting--that would limit the shootings.

Tragic, at best.

RIP kid, it's a tragedy you're life was cut short for all the wrong reasons.

The glorious, upstanding NYPD did more harm that marijuana ever could have to that kid and his family.

fucking pigs!

This is wrong and disgusting. Committee of Public Safety my ass.

Straight up murder. Corrupt bunch of cunts, RIP fella.

Someone should put a bullet into that fucking fascist pig. Dirty filthy state lackeys.

Well if people started shooting or blowing up off duty cops and targeting them wherever they may be then perhaps people would think twice about signing up to be filthy swine. Targeted assassinations carried out in brutal fashion with no regard as to if they where on duty or not would drive some fear into them one would think. They think nothing of shooting us down like dogs so why should we not do the same to them?

RIP kid

I've fantasized about this very thing, but my fantasies always turn sour. Imagine you lived in a transparent, indestructible house. You generate your own power and grow your own food. You also grow weed. Even though you bother nobody, your neighbors see the weed and call the cops. The cops arrive but can't get in the door. You blow smoke at them through the transparent walls. Their battering rams can't get in. Their bulldozers and police tanks can't get in. You laugh. You smoke in plain sight and laugh.

Would the cops abandon the operation, or would they call in the National Guard? And would the similarly-stymied National Guard call in the military? Would they not use every bullet, every missile, every tool technology has afforded them to complete the operation?

If they choose to enforce a certain law, there is no limit to the effort they will make to enforce it. Hence their numbers are never limited.

This is fucking detestable.

this is very wrong whats up with police.. i bet they dont even get in trouble besides the paid leave that they get when they are involved in a shooting

Their fellow cops will always stand up for them, that's the problem, and why I have no respect for any cop. Even those who are personally well intentioned and honorable and respectful protect those who aren't. They always choose a fellow cop before the general public they're supposed to protect, because this 'war on drugs' rhetoric has taught them to act as an army, treating citizens as enemy troops and the cities they're supposed to 'protect and serve' as occupied territory.

[Help?!?!]

Pigs.....waht a bunch of fucking animals.......!

 

[CoffeeDrinker]

I don't see how "furtive" is even presented as an acceptable defense of this crime?

 

[zekethemusicman]

ever heard of a fucking tazer? what a piece of shit. Vigilante justice is needed becuase nothing will be done. They will keep killing AMERICAN CITIZENS if the only thing done to them is get a paid fucking vacation. FUCK
