Peter Lyoya brought his family from Congo to the U.S. in 2014 to escape violence

Peter Lyoya holds up a picture of his son Patrick Lyoya, 26, in his home in Lansing, Mich., April 14, 2022. Patrick was face-down on the ground when he was fatally shot in the head by a Grand Rapids Police officer after resisting arrest on April 4, 2022. Grand Rapids police released four videos from different sources Wednesday, nine days after Patrick Lyoya was killed during a traffic stop.

Grand Rapids Police Chief Eric Winstrom cited a need for transparency when releasing video collected from a passenger in the car Patrick Lyoya was driving, the officer’s body camera, the officer’s patrol car and a doorbell camera. Winstrom did not identify the officer, a seven-year veteran who is on paid leave during the investigation.

Winstrom said the fight over the Taser lasted about 90 seconds. In the final moments, the officer was on top of Lyoya, kneeling on his back at times. The officer asked him if he spoke English and demanded his driver's license. Lyoya responded to the officer in English. The foot chase began soon after.

Patrick Lyoya shot to death by Grand Rapids Police - here's what the video showedPatrick Lyoya was shot to death after a traffic stop in Grand Rapids on April. On Wednesday, April 13, police released four different videos of the shooting. Same old Hollywood script here. The cop tells him to stay in the car, the criminal resists. The cop tries to restrain the criminal, the criminal resists and fights. The cop shoots as a last resort. And we about to enter yet another summer of love aka looting and riots. The end. 'He did not attempt to render any aid to Lyoya' I assume it would have been pointless after this: 'Then he fires the gun once, shooting Lyoya in the back of the head.' Again. STAY in the car. It's not hard. Stay in the car. Someone give me a reason to get out of the car. There isn't one. Stay in the car.
