Since when in the land of the free did we sentence people to death with no trial, no lawyer? Believe me, I'm no fan of welfare, whether its illegal immigration, people sucking off of government programs or corporate welfare. bureaucracy, government waste & red tape, and consider myself a small government libertarian, even though I'm from Massachusetts (the 4th highest taxed state in the country). We gotta have standards here. Isn't this sort of oppressive government tyranny is what the founders sought to escape? We didn't get the whole story however, since there seems to be conflicting views. Did the police act in immediate self defense? It would be one thing if they were being attacked, and needed to defend themselves, but from the view of the article, it seems like this poor guy was shot by the police for little reason. Oh, he was a scumbag drug dealing lowlife who smoked weed in front of my house. The punishment for that crime is being shot in the face by the police with no trial. Thats America: land of the free, home of the brave, right? If you sincerely believe this, I urge you to at least pressure your congressman and state legislatures to write legislation allowing the police to permit this sort of nonsence. Perhaps we can call it "The New Freedoms Agenda of 2008". Call your senators now!!!

And like I said he is not related to me. and I never lived in the ghetto. I know you would like to believe that and everyone that carry a gun is not bad. and yes I am saved and will remain saved because I do know we all have to leave here and my God dont make mistakes so just know that your comments dont hurt, you really need to know the facts of what really happen I seen what the police did I stood in the window and watch the police kill him in cold blood.I seen how the police was on top of him and he could not move I seen how they shot him in the right side of his head yes I seen when the blood started running out left side of his head, so what ever you have against me does not have anything to do with his family. Just be mindful about what you say because God does not have a respect of person.

BS wrote on August 05, 2008 05:35 PM: Is this lady serious? I guess it's OK to run from the police, pull a gun, struggle, fire a shot and then attempt to take the officer's gun. How could you NOT expect to be shot? Lady, get a clue. The "baby" would not have died had he acted like a civilized person. Act like an animal and that's what happens. Lady, don't blame the police. Blame yourself for condoning that sort of behavior from the "baby". I don't know of any babies who carry guns.

Juliette (your own niece) stood in front of a camera and said it was her cousin that was shot. How can you say you didn't know him. Now why would her cousin be running to your mothers front door and you didn't know him. Please Roxanne tell the truth. Juliette was at the house that night. Let's see, she knows "the baby" but you don't. Was he the one outside that night smoking weed with everyone else from your family "that doesn't know him" all of you are low life ghetto scum and I am pleased with the results. Now you can show the other girlfriend the government assistance handbook so she can get a free ride from the government. Or better yet give her a couple of your kids or your sisters kids you get assistance for.
Why are you living at your mothers house anyway. Section 8 shut you down?Have you called the Texas attorney yet?
And you have the nerve to call yourself a christian.

These criminals make their choices, and the Police react to it in a split second. Im glad no Officers or citizens were injured, and Metro should be praised for OBVIOUSLY keeping our communities safer.

SL, I bet when you heard the news of an officer involved shooting...you couldn't wait for this article to come out. I don't think any scenario would've made the shoot justified in your pathetic eyes. As always good job LVMPD for doing a thankless job and keeping the streets as safe as possible.
