I DON’T WANT TO SHOOT YOU
This is not a review of the podcast, and instead a few comments about a particular episode. The episode on November 28, 2018, was about a black male (“RJ”), who had a gun and threatened to kill himself. His girlfriend called the police and the first officer that arrived was talking RJ down and did not shoot RJ. However, 2 officers responded a couple of minutes later, and they shoot RJ. This podcast, and RJ’s family try to bring race as an issue but race had nothing to with why RJ was shot. The victim’s sister, Heather, is utterly ridiculous and wants her brother’s death to be because of race or some fault of the police, she even says “the police shoot first and ask questions later” when the police appeared and asked her brother, RJ to put the gun down, and he refused, it does not matter that the gun was unloaded. SO THE POLICE SPECIFICALLY ASKED RJ TO DROP THE GUN AND AFTER RJ REFUSED AND MOVED HIS HAND AROUND WITH THE GUN IN HIS HAND THE POLICE OFFICERS THEN KILLED RJ. SO THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR RJ’S DEATH WAS RJ, AND HEATHER DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THAT FACT. THE POLICE DID NOTHING WRONG AND RACE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RJ’S DEATH. ...... THE RESPONDING OFFICER NADER IS THE ONLY PERSON THAT ACTED CORRECTLY, THE BACKUP OFFICERS SPECIFICALLY KUZMAH (SP) IS AN IDIOT AND HAS THE TEMERITY TO BLAME NADER FOR NOT SHOOTING RJ. I UNDERSTAND THE GRIEF OF RJ’S FAMILY BUT MY GOD HIS SISTERS ARE JUST RIDICULOUS IN THEIR COMMENTS AND OUTRAGE THAT THEIR BROTHER WAS SHOT - THEY NEED TO ACCEPT THAT RJ IS DEAD BECAUSE RJ CHOSE TO DIE AND BRANDISHED A PISTOL AND REFUSED TO DROP THE PISTOL AFTER THE POLICE ASKED SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT IS OFFENSIVE THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO BLAME THE POLICE AND BRING RACE AS REASONS FOR RJ’S DEATH.
