(12,194 posts)No Charges in Ohio Police Killing of John Crawford as Wal-Mart Video Contradicts 911 Caller Account
An Ohio grand jury has declined to indict the white police officer who fatally shot John Crawford. A 22-year-old African American, Crawford was killed inside a Wal-Mart store last month after a caller phoned police to accuse him of brandishing a gun and pointing it at other customers. In fact, Crawford had picked up an unloaded BB air rifle on a shelf, an item that is sold in the store. Newly released surveillance footage shows major discrepancies between a 911 callers account, and what really happened. The Justice Department now says it will launch a federal review to determine if Crawfords civil rights were violated. We are joined by two guests: Rashad Robinson, executive director of Color of Change, a national organization that has campaigned for Wal-Mart to release the surveillance tapes, and James Hayes, founding member of the Ohio Student Association, which has been organizing protests over the shooting.

Strange, that anti-gun folks would openly advocate for just that, but there it is.
