So, because he was black, fire at him even though he likely was himself shooting at he suspects and obviously not at his fellow officers?

This is rotten to the core.

Officer Jacai Colson

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA9) -- The shot that killed Officer Jacai Colson during a shootout Sunday at Prince George's County police headquarters was "deliberately aimed at him" by another officer, police officials announced Wednesday.

Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said the officer fired at Colson, who was in plain clothes during the shootout, because they perceived him to be a threat.

"I do not believe for a second that a police officer intentionally fired at another police officer," Stawinski said.

The shootout happened when Michael Ford, who faces second-degree murder, six counts of attempted first-degree murder and other charges, randomly opened fire at police and passing cars. He is still at the hospital and currently in a no bond status.

His two brothers, Malik and Elijah Ford, were denied bail Wednesday after prosecutors say they filmed their brother Michael during the shootout and failed to stop him. The two brothers have also been charged with attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

During the bail hearing, Malik Ford collapsed.

"The family of Jacai Colson has been a paragon of strength," Chief Stawinski said. "The mother and father standing with us during the press conference where we had to reveal this was likely a friendly fire incident, and even today as we have talked to them as this has unfolded, their support of this police department has been stunning."

Several family members testified on behalf of Malik and Elijah Ford during the bond hearing. An aunt said, "He never shot anyone" about Malik Ford and their father said, "He didn't have no gun in his hand."

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — The plainclothes Maryland police officer who died in a chaotic shootout at a Maryland police station was deliberately shot by a fellow officer who did not recognize him and viewed him as an armed threat, a police chief said Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters outside the Prince George's County courthouse, Police Chief Hank Stawinski was careful not to speculate about the state of mind of the unidentified officer who fired upon Officer Jacai Colson on Sunday afternoon outside a police station in Landover, but he said it was clear that the officer feared for his life.

"I don't believe for a second that our officer intentionally fired at another police officer," Stawinski said.

Three brothers who live near the suburban Washington police station have been charged in the gunfight, which police have described as an attempt by the suicidal oldest brother, 22-year-old Michael Ford, to provoke officers into killing him. According to police, Ford was driven to the station by his two younger brothers and began firing at the building and at passing vehicles, causing officers to return fire. Ford fired more than 20 shots, prosecutors said in court Wednesday.

Police said Ford's brothers aided him before and during the shootout and used their cellphones to record video of the gunfight. They also recorded video of Michael Ford offering a "last will and testament," police said.

A judge denied bail on Wednesday afternoon for Ford's brothers, 21-year-old Malik Ford and 18-year-old Elijah Ford, in a dramatic hearing that included emotional pleas on their behalf by their father and several other relatives. While listening to his relatives, Malik Ford, who appeared in court via closed-circuit television, collapsed and fell to the floor. Some of his family members wept as he was treated by medical personnel, and the hearing resumed a few minutes later, with Ford seated in a chair.

The relatives tried to distance Malik and Elijah from Michael's actions, saying they were not armed and their involvement was minimal.

"He didn't pull the trigger," their father, Michael Thomas, said of Elijah. "My son is excellent. He's a great person."

After bail was denied for Elijah Ford, his sister, Ebony Howard, blurted out to Judge Robert Heffron, "Do you all have any incriminating evidence against him?"




Heffron informed her that it was the state that gathers evidence against defendants.

Thomas said his sons had strong character and mostly stayed out of trouble. Elijah, a high school senior, has no criminal history, while Malik has been charged twice with petty theft. The charges were dropped in both cases, court records show.

"I've lost three kids in one shot," Thomas said.

Another relative, who did not identify herself in court, said "Elijah was not seeking YouTube celebrity," arguing instead that he recorded video of the shooting because he was concerned no one would believe what had happened.

The relatives declined to comment after the hearing. They were represented by a public defender, Kevin Valdez, who declined to comment or to identify who had spoken.

Colson, a 28-year-old narcotics detective, was wearing street clothes and responded to the shooting from a different location than the other officers, according to charging documents. Colson was black. Police have not revealed the race of the other officers involved in the shootout. State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks said her office would investigate every aspect of the shooting, including whether race was a factor.

Michael Ford faces more than two dozen charges, including second-degree murder. Malik and Elijah face charges including attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Alsobrooks has said the brothers, who were not armed, could also be charged under Maryland's felony murder law, which applies to people who participate in a felony that results in a homicide.

"I don't believe for a second that our officer intentionally fired at another police officer," Stawinski said.

never ever ever ever ever shoot another officer. if we had known it was an officer we wouldn't have shot him
but he was black so how would we know? i mean he's black you shoot first and ask questions last.

Every black male in their eyes is a potential boogeyman. That is why they blast on sight. Until they can get fired, prosecuted, and pensions snatched on a regular basis their behavior will not change. Hell even the armed forces have military prisons.

Let's not forget back in '94 when plainclothes Officer Desmond Robinson was shot in the back by an off-duty White cop despite wearing the color of the day, as well as that Black off duty Mount Vernon officer that was shot & killed in front of the Westchester Department of Social Services in 2008, he had his gun drawn while struggling with a suspect, the Westchester police rolled up, saw the gun, and shot him.

WE already know that he's White, quite frankly, ALL of the Black people who work @ what is a White establishment KNOW EACH OTHER, if only by face, for no other reason than that there are so few of each other to commiserate with!
