666clit:Brandon Tate Brown was Fatally Shot in the Head by a Philadelphia Police Officer on Monday December 15th 2014 Two uniformed 15th Police District officers stopped Tate-Brown because he was driving without headlights, police said. When the officers approached the car, a Dodge Charger with Florida tags, they saw a handgun on its center console.The officers asked Tate-Brown to get out of the car, and when he did, a struggle began. He broke free from the officers and forced his way to the passenger side of the vehicle, where he tried to retrieve the handgun, said Lt. John Stanford, a police spokesman.That’s when one of the officers fired, hitting Tate-Brown once in the head, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:05 a.m.The officer who fired the gun has been placed on administrative duty, as is routine in all such shootings, police said. Stanford said the officer has served on the force for about a year and a half. Per department policy, police have not released his name or his race.Monday’s incident is the fourth fatal police-involved shooting this year, of 26 police-involved shootings. By this time last year, according to department records, officers had been involved in 42 shootings, 13 of them fatal. Brown’s mother, Tanya Dickerson, tells us, “What I want to know is, what happened? And why couldn’t you disable him? Why are you trained to kill instead of disable?”Leon Goodwin, Brown’s stepfather, says, “I don’t want them to just sweep it under the rug. I don’t want the cops to get away with this, because it’s wrong. They took my son, and I want somebody to pay for it.”(x) (x)All photos taken with permission from IG @justiceforbrandon_215 -- source link
