If you don't mind...

In Sumter SC, a man and his girlfriend are arguing, the article does not state if things were physical. Police are called and the man runs. A car chase ensues which ends in a crash. The man breaks out a window and flees on foot.

He is tackled almost immediately. At this point, he is face down on the ground and at least 3 Police Officers open fire.

At least 24 shots form at least 3 cops. He is hit 19 times and pronounced dead at the scene. Depressing and unnecessary but unfortunately not a surprise.

But then there is the damn cherry on top that somehow just twisted my outrage amplifier up to 11. Read this smug nonchalant dismissal of his department's racist murdering incompetence. Be amazed by the cynical deflection and simple stunning arrogance of this fucking fuck.

"This incident shows the devastating, far-reaching effects of domestic violence on individuals, families, law enforcement, the Sumter community and the state as a whole."
Sumter Police Chief Russell F. Roark III
