White Hood Removed: Name of Cop who Killed Patrick Lyoya Released [where Cops are Too Slow/Weak to Stop a non-dangerous Person, it's Unlawful to Use Deadly Force to Make an Arrest (for whites only)]

COPS ARE SERVANTS WORKING FOR US? Larken Rose explains, ‘In this system, it is patently obvious who commands and who obeys. It is claimed that “the government works for us; it is our servant.” Again, such a statement does not even remotely match the obvious reality of the situation; it is little more than a cult mantra, a delusion intentionally programmed into the populace in order to twist their view of reality. And most people never even question it. Most never wonder, if “government” works for us, if it is our employee, why does it decide how much we pay it? Why does our “employee” decide what it will do for us? Why does our “employee” tell us how to live our lives? Why does our “employee” demand our obedience for whatever arbitrary commands it issues, sending armed enforcers after us if we disobey? It is impossible for “government” to ever be the servant, because of what “government” is, To put it in simple, personal terms, if someone can boss you around and take your money, he is not your servant; and if he cannot do those things, he is not “government.” However limited, “government” is the organization thought to have the right to forcibly control the behavior of its subjects via “laws,” rendering the popularly accepted rhetoric about “public servants” completely ridiculous. To imagine that a ruler could ever be the servant of those over whom he rules is patently absurd. Yet that impossibility is spouted as indisputable gospel in “civics” classes.

From [HERE] Christopher Schurr is the Grand Rapids police officer seen in video shooting Black man Patrick Lyoya to death after an April 4 traffic stop, Chief Eric Winstrom confirmed Monday. Lyoya was shot in the back of the head. The liar white cop claimed he had to do so because he said Lyoya was reaching for his taser. Video appears to contradict said statement.

"In the interest of transparency, to reduce ongoing speculation, and to avoid any further confusion, I am confirming the name already publicly circulating — Christopher Schurr — as the officer involved in the April 4 officer involved shooting," Winstrom said in a statement. 

Schurr remains on administrative leave without police powers while an investigation into the shooting continues, Winstrom said.

Among other things such as prosecution and arrest Lyoya's family, lawyers and others have been demanding the release of the officer's name.

“An intentional three-week delay in releasing the name of the involved officer, which they clearly knew at the moment of the shooting, is offensive and the exact opposite of being ‘transparent,'" Ven Johnson, one of the family's attorneys, said in a statement. "Once again, we see the Grand Rapids Police Department taking care of its own at the expense of the family’s mental health and well-being.”

National Action Network founder and president the Rev. Al Sharpton, who eulogized Lyoya at his funeral Friday, also had called for police to release the officer's name.

“Every time a Black man or woman is arrested in America, their name is immediately put out," Sharpton said Monday in a statement. "But when this officer put the gun to the back of Patrick Lyoya’s head and decided to pull the trigger, his family had to wait three weeks to find out the name of the man who killed him. Transparency is the first step toward justice in Patrick Lyoya’s name, but it certainly isn’t the last.”

IF COPS ARE TOO SLOW OR WEAK TO CATCH SOMEONE CAN THEY EXECUTE THEM? Police said Lyoya was stopped for having an improper license plate on his vehicle. After the stop, he attempted to run from the officer, who chased and tackled him. The cop was too physically weak to control the black man, so rather than let him go he executed him.

As stated, Lyoya was under arrest for a traffic violation, which is a minor misdemeanor. As such, he was not a fleeing felon. At any rate, the Supreme Court has explained the use of deadly force to prevent escape is unconstitutional, at least in regard to white citizens that is. The Court has explained,

The use of deadly force to prevent the escape of all felony suspects, whatever the circumstances, is constitutionally unreasonable. It is not better that all felony suspects die than that they escape. Where the suspect poses no immediate threat to the officer and no threat to others, the harm resulting from failing to apprehend him does not justify the use of deadly force to do so. It is no doubt unfortunate when a suspect who is in sight escapes, but the fact that the police arrive a little late or are a little slower afoot does not always justify killing the suspect. 

A police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting him dead… Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force. Thus, if the suspect threatens the officer with a weapon or there is probable cause to believe that he has committed a crime involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious physical harm, deadly force may be used if necessary to prevent escape, and if, where feasible, some warning has been given.
