| Garfield "Romale" King |
On August 23, 2010, around 12 am, police officers tried to pull King over for a simple traffic stop. He fled the scene from 7900 South Stony Island, eventually crashing his car into a police officer’s vehicle at 91st and Emerald. Officers say King used his car as a weapon, forcing them to shoot and kill him.
Margaret Robinson, King’s cousin, says her relative didn’t deserve to be shot down “like a dog”.
I'm real sick of people making excuses for criminals. he didn't deserve to be shot like a dog?!!! Did those officers deserve to be ran over by a fool?
ReplyDeleteLooks like he got what he deserved to me. One less bell to answer.
ReplyDeleteOnce again the family members of a worthless career criminal are crying fowl. Some people are always looking to blame someone else for their crap. Grow up people! In my eyes, King was a piece of trash. He probably spent more time behind bars than he did on the streets. This is what happens when people spit out babies and let the taxpayers raise them.
ReplyDeleteThis was an unjustified shooting. King was shot outside of his car. He had his hands up when officers shot him. Know what the hell you are talking about before you start typing lies!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou people are ignorant biggots. This is someones brother someones son and a white man can commit a crime just as easily as a black man but when he is splashed across the front page he's a famous serial killer or a famous bank robber. Lol you fucktards. I am white too so talk shit.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we believing stories that have so many holes in them? Why would someone lead the police on a chase, that spans several miles in a busy city, back to their home? Why is it that the neighbors reported being awakened by several gunshots and not the sound of several police cars that should have had sirens going? Why are there so many differences in the reporting of whether he was shot inside or outside of the car? Why were there reports that no weapons or drugs found in the car or on his person in the morning but by evening police say they retrieved weapons or drugs from the car? Answer to all of these questions is that the police use a persons criminal past to constantly harass them. The police embellish stories about persons with a criminal past to make others believe their own criminal actions are justified. No one ever questions the history of the officers involved with the person that is arrested/killed. No one ever asks about the officers own history of wrong doing. Instead, we are all so quick to condemn a person and say that the person deserved to die because a police officer did it/said so.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't he pull over for a simple traffic stop then? We also hear of officers being shot at or killed by low-lifes shooting at them.
