Jackson, an attorney for Pierce's aunt, and family members said a family friend loaned the car to the boys. At a rally Saturday, lawyers for the families blamed the deputies for not running a check on the car's license plate before attempting to stop it with guns drawn. "You can actually see the tires of the vehicle turn sharply as the car accelerates towards Deputy Santiago-Miranda who is now in immediate danger of being struck by the vehicle," Ivey wrote.The families contend that the video shows Crooms trying to avoid the deputy.Hours after Crooms was laid to rest at a Cocoa-area cemetery, family and friends of both teens released handfuls of white balloons into the air at a park Saturday.
The documents show Santiago-Miranda had a record of minor violations of agency policy, which included twice being cited for improper procedure while attempting to stop fleeing vehicles.The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting.
Right...the officers should have let them either run them down or given them the chance to turn around and give it another shot before defending themselves....
Typical Media mincing words, exploiting deception, twisting reasoning, distort facts & context to mislead, to give a wrong idea or impression; fake news.
They were resisting arrest, because they were fleeing and for trying to do a hit and run... Not smart.
Wait so the are protesting these two teens because they simply couldn't just get out of the vehicle. Yet 4 black girls died by black guys in 48 hours Makes no sense to me. Seems like blm is only selective and wants to make it a racial thing. Interesting.
If they try to hit an officer after fleeing a previous traffic stop, you have to assume they are a danger to the public. Not to mention that there was a firearm in the stolen vehicle. Focus on real cases of abuse, this type of bs keeps the public from supporting change....
is there any body cam footage released yet?
Benjamin Crump is becoming a multi-millionaire off the illegitimate cases of police brutality evidently he's paid by BLM otherwise surely there are other Black lawyers
