This is not right. Clearly that department should not have been able to investigate themselves. I hope they can get the trial they deserve, and if he truthfully did put fear into that officer that felt as if he was defending his life by killing DJ then so be it. But they should at least get a trial.
If someone intentionally strikes a police officer with their car, sending them on the hood of their car, why shouldn't the police fire at the driver? When the parents mention that this could happen to anyones son, their right. If Ur son is drunk & run over a policeman, chances R their son/daughter driving the car (that intentionally ranover/struck the policeman) is going to get shot, & likely killed. If Ur son is not running-over/shooting/attacking/etc.. a policeman, you'll be just fine.
Why would cities and states allow a police department to investigate themselves or their own actions in such cases? It should be independent investigations conducted with no ties to any department that is directly involved in such incidents. The DA has ways of painting a certain type of picture and/or perception that appears truth. There are other historical cases like DJ's and in the words of Edgar Allen Poe "Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear." Justice is truth.
Absolute Justice was served, a grand jury that included black people, decided its NOT ok to try and run over police officers, now as far as the 120million lawsuit I hope its settled for less than 10% or a jury awards less than 5%... where do they come up with these ridiculous numbers? It does closely match the BAC level their son had that night [some decimal points moved around tho.]
Thats ridiculous even if he might ve been drunk there are witnesses saying that Henry didnt drive str8 at the police so im sensing alot of BS here
