'THE POLICE MURDERED MY SON'

Further proof that pot is NOT less dangerous than alcohol.

I KNOW SHE’S HIS MOTHER, BUT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD…

I know that, generally speaking, parents love their children. Mothers typically love their sons. But still…..

At about 9:15 p.m. Saturday the Oakland school district cops stopped at a parked car near a dance at a school. The car had the emergency flashers operating. When the cops came up to the car it became obvious that the occupants were smoking weed. They could smell it. As it turned out the car was stolen and there was a gun in the car.

Raheim Brown, 20, was in the front passenger seat of the Honda. When the cops (both Sergeants) got up to the car, Brown stabbed one of them in the arm with a screwdriver. The other Sergeant shot Brown through the windshield, killing him.

According to his mother, Brown was not a violent person (except for occasionally stabbing cops I guess), was very sweet, and always tried to help people (except when he was in possession of a stolen car and an illegal gun while stoned). She is absolutely positive the gun wasn’t his, though she admits not knowing who the gun belonged to. (Maybe the cops planted it.) The mother speculated her son may have been trying to start the (stolen) car with the screwdriver. I guess he was so stoned he didn’t realize the cops arm was not the ignition switch, and the cop was on his right, outside of the car while the ignition switch was on his left, on the inside of the car. The Sergeant should have KNOWN the punk (I am sorry, 20-year old child) wasn’t really trying to hurt anybody but was merely trying to start his stolen car and drive peacefully away.

Mom says, “The police murdered my son.” I know she is his mother, but I respectfully suggest this woman needs to get her head out of her ass, and maybe if she had done so 10 years ago her son would still be alive today.
