#1 You had a weapon illegally in a vehicle with 2 other men who had illegal weapons.

#2 You fled the scene for whatever reason and you were shouting you have a gun

#3 Everyone KNOWS carry a gun at all times without a permit or license to have such a weapon

So basically this idiot tells cops he has a gun, is reaching into his waist band while running to pull it out and the cop shoots him.

Lets also keep in mind that the only person advising that he didn't draw the gun is the cousin, but it clearly states he had his hand on it the whole time and he was yelling about having it... ummm to me that would means you are going to use it.

Here is the easy solution:

Police pull up to the truck you are in, as it is a privilege to drive they are 100% legal in stopping you and checking the drivers ID. At this point you do nothing, if the cop asks if you have weapons you say yes then you surrender the weapons and take your jail time (1 - 2 months most likely).

There, now you don't get shot! See how easy that was?

I also love this part:


About 25 people, including Hayes' family, stood at last night's council meeting as Near East Side activist Barry Edney called on the city to suspend Mayor Michael B. Coleman's summer strike-force initiative, which puts extra police in high-crime areas. Hannah was part of that detail when he shot Hayes.

Lemme get this straight... THE TASK FORCE IS WORKING, it just got 3 illegal weapons off the street, and 2 convicted felons back in jail instead of out on the streets shooting people and you want to stop the initiative because... its working? uhhhh WHAT?!?!?!
