Like the Constitution says ‘Any Black Person w/a Gun Can Be Shot on Sight Even If They Don't Pose a Threat.’ Video Shows Milwaukee Cop Fatally Shoot Herman Lucas in the Back as He Fled w/Gun in Hand

From [HERE] The Milwaukee Police Department on Friday released redacted footage of the fatal police shooting of Herman Lucas, but the video does not show Lucas point a gun at the officer prior to the officer killing him.

If you are running away from someone can you still pose an imminent threat to them?

Kent Lovern, Milwaukee County’s chief deputy district attorney (a white liberal), said Friday the findings of the investigation were turned over to his office days ago and no decision on possible charges have been made. The Waukesha Police Department was the agency leading in the investigation.

The department also addressed public concerns regarding a bystander's video following the shooting where officers move Lucas' body. Sarnow said officers attempted to move him to level ground after approaching cautiously as they were unsure if Lucas still posed an active threat.

The incident began with a traffic stop around 1:48 p.m. Feb. 21 on the 7000 block of West Thurston Avenue on Milwaukee’s northwest side. Police said officers pulled over the vehicle for not having license plates.

The driver initially stopped but then fled west as officers approached on foot. After traveling about a mile and a half with police in pursuit, the driver disregarded a red light and crashed into another car on the 9100 block of West Silver Spring Drive.

Bystander video shows at least four police officers cautiously approaching Lucas’ body as it lays unresponsive on the ground in a corner of a gas station lot, where a fence and building meet. The officers’ guns are drawn and at least one holds a tactical shield as they appear to shout orders at Lucas to put his hands on his side.

Lucas never moves.
