Police kill unarmed blackman who was running to them for help

[WorldEX]

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department signed a warrant on Saturday for voluntary manslaughter in the case of an officer who allegedly shot and killed a 24-year-old.

Police have charged 27-year-old Randall Kerrick with voluntary manslaughter.

Officials said that Kerrick turned himself in on Saturday afternoon.

CMPD spent much of the day on Saturday investigating an officer-involved shooting.

Officers said former FAMU football player, Jonathan Ferrell, was shot in the Bradfield Farms Subdivision in Northeast Charlotte early Saturday morning.

Police said Ferrell knocked on a door early in the morning. The woman inside thought it was her husband and opened the door.

"To her surprise it was a person she did not know or recognize. She immediately closed the door, hit her panic alarm and called 911," said Chief Rodney Monroe.

Eventually, three officers arrived.

"He immediately charged towards the three officers, one in particular. That officer fired his weapon several times, striking the individual multiple times," said Monroe.

Ferrell died at the scene and a short time after the shooting police found a black car in some nearby woods. It had apparently crashed.

"We believe that vehicle belonged to the individual who was shot. It's quite possible he was seeking assistance. Based on his accident, it was a pretty serious accident."

The two other officers were placed on administrative leave while internal affairs investigates exactly what happened.

A press release from CMPD said that an officer tried to use a Taser on Ferrell before the shooting, but it was unsuccessful.

A press release from CMPD following Kerrick's arrest said, "This is a very unfortunate incident and it has devastated a family as well as caused a great deal of sadness and anxiety in our organization. However we must always strive to bring forth all facts and evidence in every case to determine when it is appropriate to place criminal charges against a member of the department."

[J.A.]

Yea that's some bullshit. Dude running up to get help and he's making an aggressive move towards an officer. Gtfoh. Stupid ass white bitch talking about somebody trying to break In her house ... Really apparently he was just knocking

 

[sharkbait28]

 

[slewdem100]

Fucked up...easily intimidated officer unable to view young Blacks as anything but potential criminals...he did the crime...I hope he does the time

 

[mcguyver]

If he was such a threat wouldn't he have pushed his way in or kicked the door down after she opened it? Plus he knocked. That dumb bitch could've asked him what he wanted after she closed the door. why don't this happen to white people, and why are white cops so trigger happy when it comes to black men?

 

[black-n-tan]

They will just say "officer acted properly", and that will be the end of it.

 

[WorldEX]

It's the elevator grab my purse fear expanded to the use of lethal deadly force, because some white woman panic a black man show up at her house for help. They should charge her too.

 

[4 Dimensional]

Man, fuck these cops man. Stay killing innocent brothers.

guarantee you this woman was white.....white women are so afraid of black men its ashamed.....

they smile on the street at you when they are walking by themselves...simply because they are afraid of you.....

Real talk nowadays....I don t even like using people's driveways to turn my car around if I am lost somewhere....cause these cacs are ready to shoot any black face.....

So leary of white women....seriously....because real talk they are some of the most flakiest women walking the planet.....

white men cape hard for them.....

Dont say that on BGOL. Dudes here think all white women love and desire them totally.

White bitches is the scariest motherfuckers on this planet, next to white men who are a close second. Those bitches be holding on to their purses for dear life, when they are out. Weird bitches.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

and this is why black people don't work with or trust the police and treat them as hostile enemies.

because that's what they act like.


they aren't here to protect us.

so why would we treat them like anything other than what they are?


she got on the phone and said there is a frantic black guy at my door i don't know what he wants

the police came

he ran towards them. now let's be honest. he said that there had been an accident.

he didn't just charge the officers and not say something.

and let's be honest

he said the same with the lady at the door too. he didn't just knock and then be mute when she opened it.

he said that he needs help.. help me please etc.. there's been a car accident. she wasn't trying to hear it.

and police come with gun drawns and quickly to a house where someone knocks on your door that you don't know?


they tried to tase him? WHY??

then they shot him multiple times

so he saw them they hopped out he charged and i guess was foaming at the mouth so they had to put him down...

or more accurately he saw the police cars and ran up and said "thank god you're here..officers there has been an accide....."

they need to be arrested and charged with premeditated murder.

premeditated? yes... because when they got the call that it was a black man they went there with the thought in their minds that if he made any false move they were going to kill him. they came there with the intent to protect the woman, by killing the black man regardless of situation.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

When u black

It's shoot first

Ask questions last

Fuck these Beatdownrecs ass niggas

 

[Mo-Better]

Forget about the thieves, muggers, rapist, drug dealers and gangs. The police are the most dangerous people on our streets.

White or black it don't matter, every police officer in this country needs to be reevaluated with a psychic and lie detectors attached. Police procedures, policies need to be reviewed and police review boards need to be reestablished. Never really saw the need for police review boards but with unjust shootings becoming hourly occurrences something needs to change and fast.

Shoot first ask question later......when it comes to black folks....

esp if a white woman is involved....

Most white women are flakey....period....

they are curious with black guys = flakey.....

they are get drunk, whore, then act innocent = flakey

black guy walking up the street...smile at him...but clutch my purse = shady and flakey....

Somehow these mistakes seldom happen to white people...

so he just IMMEDIATELY charged thats it..no cause, he wasnt saying anything, JUST CHARGING..

fuckin piglice maaan

yea at least someone was arrested this time, but dam this story sure has a lot of holes in it..

 

[WorldEX]

Seldom? It never happens to white people, not even in a country where they are minority. That's why they are better serial killer, white folks guards are up when they see a black person but not for their own kind.

If ever.

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

well if you melanin rich and need help and you in a caced out hood with caced out piglice officers.

you better find other options..

Exactly, make sure you have AAA or just find a gas station to call 911 if you don't have a phone for the paramedics. A Black Samaritan can't even seek assistance in a random community.

I know people don't want to hear this, but I will say it anyway. To them, if you're young, Black, and male, you're thug by default. Does't matter if you have a job, pay your taxes, and played football during you college education.

 

[heiesuke]

Fucking shame

 

[stretchwallz]

Ice Cube said "to serve protect and break a ******'s neck" I won't ask the police for shit. I'm too dark to take the chance. Police are trained to purge black men

 

[Diamels]

You just mad cause it is true

Yep it's only when we get older... we're considered "less" of a threat...

notice he has no record... they would have brought it up...


that's why I can't live in white areas... the stress can't be worth it... being thought of as a criminal imagine jogging.. in the morning and it's cold.. and you have a hoody... boy oh boy

 

[water]

Fucked up shit.

Looks like he already had his mind made up to kill that man before they even go there

I wonder of the other cops will testify against him?

 

[smiffnwessun]

I dont like police never have never will

 

[black-n-tan]

"He immediately charged towards the three officers, one in particular".

That phrase is designed to justify the shooting. Who in their right mind "charges" the police??? Clearly a lie. Most likely, he was just walking.
