Keely’s attorney, Marc Curtis, said in a release, “It is unfortunate that in this time of political correctness, Michigan’s Attorney General has chosen to ignore the facts of this incident and rely on political pressure.”

Marc Curtis is a fucking scum bag.

Love it when ppl add "simply" to things as though it just hand waves it into success

Suspect would still be alive if they simply decided to stay home that day.

It is too hard to tell if this is sarcasm in this context.

This piece of shit.

The footage shows at least one officer chasing Sterling on foot into a Burger King parking lot when a large grey SUV veers into the lot and hits Sterling, appearing to pin him against the restaurant wall.

After the SUV reverses away from him, several officers converge on Sterling and order him to put his hands behind his back. Sterling repeatedly screams, “My back,” and groans in pain. After his hands are cuffed in front of him, Sterling continues to complain that his back and entire body hurt.

...

“The case will hinge on several factors: Would a reasonable person with Keely’s police training believe that hitting Sterling with the car would have a likelihood of causing serious injury or death? Was that use of force reasonable under the circumstances?” he said.

25 years old. Still a long life ahead of him. Sure maybe he could have done things differently, but that isn't our job to decide, and it's not anyone's right to take his life in an attempt at apprehension of a fleeing suspect. There is literally no justification here!! I dont care how badly you 'wanna git 'em ', you don't fucking run people over with your vehicle! This shouldn't even have to be said. 🤦‍♂
