No white boy with a little sword would they shoot while he's running away.
MORE: Witnesses say Utah man killed by police was running away attorney says - LA TimesA 22-year-old black man with a sword may have been running away when Utah police fatally shot him "numerous" times from behind last week, an attorney for the man's family said over the weekend.
The attorney cited independent autopsy results on Darrien Hunt's body that appear to contradict investigators' account of what happened outside a Panda Express in Saratoga Springs on Wednesday morning.
Officials said Hunt had "lunged" at officers with the sword before they shot him. But the attorney for Hunt's family, Randall K. Edwards, said the autopsy results found that "none of these shots were from Darrien’s front."
Hunt's death is likely to draw extra public scrutiny in the wake of the fatal Aug. 9 police shooting of another young black man, 18-year-old Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Mo., which prompted protests there and around the country.
Saratoga Springs is about 35 miles south of Salt Lake City. With 22,749 residents, the town is almost the same size as Ferguson, but is 93% white, according to census statistics. Ferguson is about two-thirds African American.
Wednesday's incident began when officers were called to the restaurant after Hunt was seen walking around with a "samurai-type sword," according to a previous statement from the Utah County Attorney's Office. Hunt's family has described it as a harmless 3-foot souvenir sword with a rounded edge.
"When the officers made contact with Mr. Hunt, preliminary evidence suggests that Mr. Hunt brandished the sword and lunged toward the officers with the sword, at which time Mr. Hunt was shot," Utah County Chief Deputy Attorney Tim Taylor said in a statement.
But according to Edwards, an independent autopsy conducted Saturday at the behest of Hunt's family showed Hunt had been shot "numerous times," none from the front.
Why dont you turn that around and ask "why would a cop just shoot an innocent person if they werent lunging at him?". What makes more sense to you... cop kills innocent man for the hell of it, or a man who is known to be crazy and troubled gets himself killed when he lunges at a cop?Why would he lunge at an officer with a souvenir sword with no edge? Sounds like a lie to me.
'Black man in Utah' sounds like a lie to me.Why would he lunge at an officer with a souvenir sword with no edge? Sounds like a lie to me.

Honestly, you guys really need to use your brains before you develope these bizarro world scenarios in your head.
"According to the US Department of Justice, blacks [ who make up 14% of the total population ] accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and Native Americans and Asians 2.2%. The offending rate for blacks was almost 8 times higher than whites, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most murders were intraracial, with 84% of white homicide victims murdered by whites, and 93% of black victims murdered by blacks."

93% of blacks are killed by other blacks.
So, 7% are killed by non-blacks.
Of that 7%, what % do you imagine are cops?
This is what all the Ferguson Etc Etc Etc Etc Hoopla is about. A fraction of a percent.
When 93% are killed by other blacks.
Not the cops, not the Klan.
Other blacks.
The fact that this is news shows that the black community is attempting to legalize crime. They're blaming us whites so we let them do what ever they wish.
They've already created a powerful lobby to bend the media to their will and get tax payer funded colleges to teach Critical Race Theory nonsense about how only white people kept slaves and are invariantly evil.The fact that this is news shows that the black community is attempting to legalize crime.
