and the motorcycle cop that got hit by while trying to setup a roadblock was black too.
anyway, he was a murder suspect (and we know he did it because one of the people he shot lived) and did what murder suspects on the run do. there is nothing special going on. maybe if they had put more effort into finding him when he murdered that young black pregnant woman and also shot her brother who came to her aid in early december then none of this would have happened. but oh well that was just some black on black crime that didn't matter. now it's black on blue and you're behaving like an occupying force.
