6 California Officers Fatally Shoot Rapper At Taco Bell Drive-Thru

[TTQ64]

ALL THEY EVER DO IS LIE. I BET MOST WHTIE AMERICANS THINK THIS IS JUSTIFIED.

Six police officers in Vallejo, California, are on administrative leave pending an investigation after they fatally shot a man moments after he woke up in the driver’s seat of his car in a Taco Bell drive-thru.

Family identified the man as Willie McCoy, a 20-year-old aspiring rapper, according to The Guardian.

The Vallejo Police Department and Solano County District Attorney’s Office say they have launched a “thorough and in-depth” investigation into the Saturday night shooting.

Police say they were called to the scene ― around 30 minutes northeast of San Francisco ― around 10:36 p.m. after an employee of the fast-food joint realized a customer behind the wheel of a silver Mercedes in the drive-thru lane was “slumped” over and motionless.

Two officers then arrived on the scene, according to the department. They reportedly noticed the driver was alone in the car with a handgun on his lap and called for backup. When two other officers arrived, the group attempted to open the door and quickly retrieve the gun, the department said, but the Mercedes was locked. Noticing the vehicle was also in drive, officers began positioning one patrol car at each bumper to prevent “erratic movement.”

With even more officers arriving on the scene, the man woke up. Police say they gave him “several commands to put his hands up,” but that he reached down toward his firearm instead. Six officers shot him “fearing for their safety,” the department said.

It was all over in about four seconds. The man was declared dead at the scene after lifesaving efforts failed.

Family members who spoke with The Guardian believed the officers’ response was unwarranted.

“There was no attempt to try to work out a peaceful solution,” Marc McCoy, Willie McCoy’s older brother, told the outlet. “The police’s job is to arrest people who are breaking the law ― not take the law into your own hands.”

“We’re never going to get over this,” he added.

“It’s a really big loss. Really, really unexpected,” a cousin, David Harrison, told the San Francisco Chronicle. “There’s a lot of grieving going on, trying to make sense of this thing.”

The six officers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation. Results of an autopsy, not yet available, will include how many times McCoy was hit by gunfire, as well as a toxicology report.

As The Guardian noted, the Taco Bell incident is just the latest in a series of recent violent confrontations between police and residents of the town. Last August, the Vallejo Police Department defended its officers’ actions after a video circulated online showing one officer straddling a man on the ground while a second officer strikes him with a flashlight.

According to the Chronicle, Saturday’s shooting was the third time in recent years that Bay Area police shot an armed man after trying to wake him up.

Oh come on, we've all fallen asleep in the Taco Bell drive thru with a gun in our laps. The difference is, we're not black. This was straight up murder.

[lisasanders1964]

Black guy sleeping in his car - allegedly with a gun on his lap - had 6 police officers fearing for their lives. So they shot him dead.

White police officer sees 11 year old black kid playing with a toy gun. He feared for his life so he shot the kid dead.

White police officer sees black man jay walking - so he shoots the guy in the back until he is dead.

White police officers see white supremacist Dylan Roof covered in blood and carrying an assault rifle in a church in North Carolina. Dylan had just KILLED 9 black parishioners and none of the police officers were worried. They politely and calmly asked Dylan to put down his assault rifle and they escorted him to the hospital where he was given gold class taxpayer funded health care. And after the doctors gave the thumbs up they gave Dylan a hamburger and coke.

White guy Nicolas Cruz kills 17 people at Parkland High School. He escapes the crime scene and is discovered hours later at a local McDonalds. The police didn't fear for their lives and let Nicolas finish his meal before they escorted him to the police station to ask him a few questions.

THIS IS WHY BLACK FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE KNEELING!!!

How many more black people need to be MURDERED by cops before you fucking racist republicunts get it through your thick skulls???

Dumbfuck shouldn't have been reaching for a firearm; but that's what dumbfucks do.

Because they looked in the car ….

[TTQ64]

Because they looked in the car ….

So you just take the kops word...…..that's exactly what they want you to do.

What if he had a CC permit? Do you think it's still justifiable to spray him with bullets without checking first?

Your questions insinuates that he deserved what he got for having a suppose "gun" on his lap. It's why you asked why did he have it.

When white people hear a Black man has a gun they automatically think murder is justifiable.

Again, the kops LIE all the time when it comes to Blacks...……...

No.. I didn't say he deserved what he got. You are jumping to conclusions. It's tragic really.. Does anyone know why he was asleep in the Taco Bell drive thru?


What is clear to me at least is that you live in a very dark place if you think cops want to kill black people.

And you live in a very naïve place if you think kops don't want to kill Blacks.

Again, why ask a question that insinuates it's his own fault.

Can you answer why the kops didn't check to see if he had a CC if they supposly saw a gun?

Some cops are black..

So?

Can you answer why the kops didn't check to see if he had a CC if they supposedly saw a gun?
