And the family and community WERE throwing a fit.
It was a joint effort between the LMPD and US Marshall Service to serve a felony warranty for assault, domestic abuse, terroristic threatening, etc. The young man was, tragically, shot and killed in the process. The usual "outrage" and "we demand answers" battle cries started immediately. One preacher proclaimed that it was further proof that "black men have no protection from the police." There was never any mention of the character of this 25 year old father of NINE. I'm sure that he was a stand-up father that was current on all of his financial obligations. No mention of how he beat the tar out of one of the baby mommas.
Well, they got what they asked for, but not what they wanted. The body cam footage clearly shows the suspect fleeing the officers on foot with a handgun in one hand. He jumped over a fence, fell down, and started to stand with the gun pointed towards the officers. Game over. Subsequently, protests over as well.
