Eric Harris Is The Latest Unarmed Black Man Shot And Killed By Police (Video)
A white Tulsa, Oklahoma police officer, Robert Bates, shot
and killed unarmed black man, Eric Harris and are now stating it
was a mistake. Bates is stating he mean to pull out his taser,
not his gun. However, that story does not wash, as they are two
completely different weapons and he should have been able to
discern the difference. His fellow officers also state the did
not realize he was shot, despite the gunshot sound and Bates
stating he shot him.
Harris’ last words were, “He shot me! He shot me, man. Oh, my
g-d. I’m losing my breath.” The police officers then responded,
“F*** your breath. Shut the f**k up.” Such callous words to a
dying man do not lend the impression the shooting was a mistake.
This brutality has to stop.
