(Reuters) - A Phoenix police officer shot to death an unarmed black man during a struggle and authorities said the officer believed the individual had a gun, in the latest fatal incident amid national turmoil over the policing of black communities.
The Phoenix Police Department said Rumain Brisbon, 34, was sitting in a black Cadillac SUV outside a convenience store on Tuesday evening, and that two witnesses told the officer the occupants of the vehicle were selling drugs.
With police forces across the country under increased scrutiny over killings of unarmed black men, Phoenix police said in a statement that its officer called for backup, and then saw Brisbon appear to remove something from the car's back seat.
It said the officer, a seven-year veteran of the department, gave him several commands to show his hands, before Brisbon "placed one or both hands in his waistband area" and then fled.
The officer chased and caught up with him, it said, and during a struggle the policeman believed he felt the handle of a gun while holding the individual's hand in his pocket.
"The officer gave the suspect several commands to get on the ground but he refused to comply, yelling profanities at the officer," said the police statement issued on Wednesday.
At that point a resident opened an apartment door and both men stumbled into her home, it said, adding that the officer was unable to keep a grip on the suspect's hand.
"Fearing Brisbon had a gun in his pocket the officer fired two rounds striking Brisbon in the torso," it said.
The police department said the back-up officers arrived after the shooting, and while they and members of the fire department treated Brisbon, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said Brisbon was carrying a vial of oxycodone pills, and that a semi-automatic handgun and a jar of what is believed to be marijuana were found in the SUV. The 30-year-old officer was not injured during the incident, the statement added.
The shooting in Phoenix comes at a tense time between U.S. law enforcement and the communities in which they operate. Two grand jury decisions not to indict officers who killed unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri, and in New York City have triggered racially charged protests throughout the United States.

Not only should all drugs be decriminalized, all drugs should be made readily available for little or no cost so those intent on doing drugs can just go ahead and auger in. Fuck 'em.

[crimethink]

Insufficient information to determine if justice was performed or not.

Another death that can be blamed on the War on (some) Drugs.

I'd say there is enough information.

Sounds justified to me. The struggle with the suspect, whom had every right to be assumed armed, entered a civilians apartment.

This seems legit, imo.

Another Nigger "'non-violent' drug user"?

Niggers are involved in drug sales far more often because it's easy money, than because it's a principled stance. It sure sounds like this was good riddance to bad rubbish...completely apart from drugs.

The stories from the media will continue, until TPTB get the race war that they want.

The perp had two arms therefor he was armed.

Why are these stories coming out of the woodwork all at this time? This is clearly directed from The Top. The Oligarchy wants race war in the US.

Blacks seem to be absolutely stupid falling for this victim complex, which has been fed from The Top. As a people they have never in history had lived better than anywhere at anytime than the US. They are coddled, fed, medicated, housed, and idolized as Gods like no other racial group has in the history. All they need to do is relax, and enjoy Godhood thanks to the hordes of Privileged White Reactionary Authoritarian Apologists who worship them. Just show a little bit of humanity, civility, and respect and the masses of idiot gullible Whites in America will worship their Masters till the end of days. Ironically though, genetics seems to be winning out at the end of the day, and they are destroying everything around them like the savage beasts they genetically are disposed to being.

so many are so caught in the "skin color" argument that they completely leave out the fact that the drug war was always meant to increase consumption/traffic while keeping a pool of people (often minorities) to do the dirty jobs.

fed up with black-latino gansta crime? abolish the drug war first.

I took a look at this info on Black inventions. I didn't see Jenkem mentioned anywhere but I'm sure it must be an invention by niggers. It's described below in this quote from wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem


The name derives from Genkem (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Genkem&action=edit&redlink=1), a brand of glues which had "become the generic name for all the glues used by glue-sniffing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhalant_abuse) children" in South Africa, where the drug originated and is most popular on the African continent today.[9] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-cassere2010-9) In the book Children of AIDS: Africa's Orphan Crisis by Emma Guest, the making of jenkem is described: "fermented human sewage, scraped from pipes and stored in plastic bags for a week or so, until it gives off numbing, intoxicating fumes."[10] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-10) The process is similarly described in a 1995 IPS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter_Press_Service) report: "Human excreta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excreta) is scooped up from the edges of the sewer ponds in old cans and containers which are covered with apolyethylene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene) bag and left to stew or ferment for a week."[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-IPS-4) A 1999 BBC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC) article refers to "the dark brown sludge, gathering up fistfuls and stuffing it into small plastic bottles. They tap the bottles on the ground, taking care to leave enough room for methane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane) to form at the top."[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-BBC-3)
The effects of jenkem inhalation last for around an hour and consist of auditory and visual hallucinations (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallucinations) for some users.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-BBC-3) In 1995, one user told a reporter it is "more potent than cannabis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis)."[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-IPS-4) A 1999 report interviewed a user, who said, "With glue, I just hear voices in my head. But with jenkem, I see visions. I see my mother who is dead and I forget about the problems in my life."[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-BBC-3) Fumito Ichinose, an anesthesia specialist in Boston who conducted a study on the effects of hydrogen sulfide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide) gas, or "sewer gas," on mice, informed Salon.com (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_(website)) that holding your breath, choking, or "the inhalation of gases like those produced from jenkem could result in hypoxia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxia_(medical)), a lack of oxygen flow to the body that could be alternately euphoric and physically dangerous."[7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenkem#cite_note-Salon-7)
