Detroit Police officer David Gonzalez approached 18-year-old Alonzo Lee-Perkins for having something suspicious in his waistband at the Ford Fireworks.

Lee-Perkins ran off and jumped construction barrels before Gonzalez shot him 4 times, even though Lee-Perkins never turned around.

Lee-Perkins survived the shooting, and Gonzalez's partner, officer Joseph Wafer, later swore in court he never saw a gun and said it could have been a phone or a wallet.

Gonzalez was never charged and was reinstated to full duty on July 20th.

Perkins, who has no criminal record, now faces gun and resisting charges, which his lawyer called the most egregious police shooting of a civilian in recent memory.

Actually, I'm more concerned with WHERE ALL THOSE OTHER BULLETS WENT AND HIT WHILE HE WAS SHOOTING AT HIM AND MISSING!!!! Anyone think of that??

I am not allowed by law to shoot someone in the back running out of my house they just robbed so the cops shouldn't be allowed to do it either. But hey, I am sure "internal affairs IE. the police" investigated the incident and found no wrongdoing. I want to be able to investigate myself as well!

Cops haven’t really had legal precedent to shoot a fleeing person they didn’t know even had a weapon. This is actually bad when you realize

Moral of this story folks is. . . .Don't disobey the police.

"never saw a gun". I bet he was saving up for one.

1 +1 Boomkapow10 2 weeks ago

@spudpeeler the cops partner is who said he didn’t see a gun, why would he save up for one when he’s assigned one

Cowards love shooting people in the back

@W1zard0f0h fuck off - that 'teen' needed perforating

I love when the Antiwhite scum's pets get shot in the back while running from the cops having committed a felony, and carrying a gun.

lesson here is do not run, comply . Listen when they say they are about to shoot. Very easy, you learn this in grade school ( if you showed up)

@Browser12 That's like asking a Colorado River Toad the play the piano like Art Tatum while "tuning the piano"

I see nothing wrong here. Even if he didn't commit a crime, he would have eventually.

4 +1 AngryHonky 2 weeks ago

@sirmrmikey exactly but there is zero chance he is 18 and hasn't committed a fuckton of crimes

0 +1 Boomkapow10 2 weeks ago

@AngryHonky but this gives precedent to cops shooting fleeing people though. Running = death?

@Boomkapow10 works for me

the only thing that's wrong by the cop is that he didn't dump his mag on this pile of shit to make sure that it wouldn't survive.

@Mowki right? what the fuck is this four shots bullshit.

That fatigue specimen committed whatever crimes maybe way long before, was running WITH A HANDGUN, and from the policemen. Rightfully shot. And what if "Gonzalez's partner, officer Joseph Wafer, later swore in court he never saw a gun"? Gonzalez saw, and even if not, that was a handgun, justified to get that black mofo's ass.

Flat TVs, iPhones, new sneakers and chimping out at large for the brotherhood: DENIED.

Black TEENAGER with a handgun (can't legally own) running from the police, towards others, not following commands gets dropped. Who fucking cares? Another feral human or the streets.

It's not where you shoot someone, It's why. And quite frankly, fuck that criminal

Shame on this officer for not shooting him in the head.

I'm all for cops shooting fleeing suspects if they're armed or not :angel:

@ScreaminMime Because you're an idiot.

Shooting a fleeing man. That's the protocol of a coward and a dishonest man. A total disproportionate use of force that goes against natural law.

Shot on a suspicion.

America is sickening

@ZooKeeper need to get iced if you’re running with a gun like that. he could’ve shot behind himself at any point
