Where are the black racists-Obama, Jackson, Holder. Sharpton and Loretta Lynch?
From the LVRJ:
Nineteen-year-old Zachary Hammond was on a date July 26 when he was fatally shot by a police officer while in parking lot at a Hardee's fast-food restaurant in Seneca, South Carolina, according to Eric Bland, the attorney representing the teen's family.
The Seneca Police Department said the officer was conducting a drug investigation and shot Hammond in self-defense.
"He was a uniformed officer, he was in a marked vehicle, was out of his vehicle on foot approaching the suspect vehicle -- weapon drawn given it was a narcotics-type violation," Seneca Police Chief John Covington said to CNN affiliate WHNS in Greenville. He added that the officer is now on administrative leave.
A small amount of marijuana was found in the front passenger's compartment in Hammond's car.
"He was a 19-year-old, 121-pound kid killed basically for a joint," Bland said.
Hammond's mother, Angie, told CNN, "Not only are we grieving that our son is gone, we don't know why it happened or what happened. We're just trying to find answers."
A vigil was held for Hammond Friday night in Seneca.
Tori Morton, 24, who was on the date with Hammond, was arrested on charges of simple possession of marijuana. An incident report from Seneca police said that Morton was the target of the police investigation.
It was an amount, Bland said, that did not warrant such force by police.
"This is about the use of overreaching deadly force in situations where it is not required," Bland said. http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nation-and-world/sc-police-officer-kills-unarmed-teen-during-undercover-drug-deal
I think the shooting was justified but I think if this thug was a black thug, there would be rioting in the streets of Seneca, S.C., because that is what black thugs and racists do.
