After his car broke down on Interstate 95 and waiting several hours for a tow truck Corey Jones was shot and killed by a plainclothes officer in an unmarked car who never bothered to identify himself as a police officer simply because Corey, on his way home from a musical performance with his expensive drums packed in his SUV, brandished a gun in self-defense as a stranger stopped an approached his vehicle at 3am on the middl e of the highway.
Via Wapo.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department said that officer Nouman Raja was in plainclothes in an unmarked car when he stopped to investigate what he believed to be an abandoned vehicle on an Interstate 95 exit ramp.
“As the officer exited his vehicle, he was suddenly confronted by an armed subject,” the police department said in a statement. “As a result of the confrontation, the officer discharged his firearm, resulting in the death of the subject.”
i'm posting this more of an addendum to the post earlier today the part in particular was my comment

"this is cool if our "leaders" are required to bare their souls than so should say citizen's united donors and dark money from wherever and those who of late have offered to help law enforcement to keep protesters in line like KKK and promise keepers walking around armed to the teeth it's an American right, well why is it that if people of color exercise that same right they get killed and their killers after 15 mins. of infamy move on to the next opportunity to help the police we are suppose to respect."
