The cops tried covering this one up too:
- He was shot from behind, running away and fleeing like we see in the surveillance tape where he is running for his life
- The police originally claimed that he was swinging his sword and lunged at him before they begun shooting him. The police chief ruled the shooting justified. This is contrary to the evidence which indicates he was shot in the back
- They allowed a police chief to make this ruling outside of a court of law, the investigation was carried out by an “officer-involved shooting protocol team”
- The sword was bought from a gift shop and did not have a sharp edge, yet in the report they claim he swung it at them and they were afraid of getting sliced
- The two cops who shot him are both reinstated: Schauerhamer and Judson
- The area is 93% white, 0.5% black
- The questioning of the cops was delayed and they’ve now altered their story (that Hunt lunged at them and that is why he ultimately died)
- The shot that killed him, though, was the shot in the back that he received while fleeing. He was shot a total of 6 times.
We are allowing police departments all over the country to get away with murder. They are held unaccountable for their murder. This is genocide. People are justifying this just like they justify Brown’s murder. Question everything. Don’t believe a word these genocidal police departments say all over the country. They are held above the law. This will keep happening if precedent is not set.
