The family of a Black man gunned down by San Bernardino police are demanding the officers involved be charged for shooting him in the back as he ran away.

San Bernardino cops have asked their community to withhold judgment after security footage circulated of officers fatally shooting 23-year-old Robert Adams, claiming the video “fails to provide any details or context as to what occurred in the incident.”

For Adams’ family, however, the video tells the whole story: An officer opened fire on Adams as he ran the opposite direction, never firing a shot of his own.

“It is unbelievable that another Black family has to bury their child due to police shooting first and asking questions later,” Ben Crump, the family’s attorney, said in an emailed statement Tuesday.
Crump later tweeted that Adams didn’t realize the unmarked car had police inside, calling his death a “horrific execution.”

1. Shot **ANOTHER** black man in the back and provided no details or justification for chasing him

... in the first place !!

The guy was doing NOTHING WRONG in the video!!

WTAF !!!

2. Unmarked car at that.

4. Cruising.

5. Adams was working as armed security guard, more proof the 2nd amendment is a ...

... is a whites mostly/only law, blacks can't have guns in America.

The NRA will ignore this like they have other unneeded shootings of black people

3. a cop that shoots a black man in the back should go to jail automatically - no questions asked-just

as the cops shoot first no questions asked.

8. THIS !!!! ☝🏾☝🏾☝🏾 Adams was armed security guard most likely just doing his job !!! He was ...

... clearly shot in the back and the LEOs on the scene are not providing the quick explanations they would be providing if the shooting was justified.

6. Every shooting should be independently reviewed, if not perfectly legal prosecute.

I was a truck driver. If I had a fatal or injury accident one minute past my hours of my allotted service time, I'd likely go to prison, and be sued for everything the lawyer could get his or her hands on.

Why should a cop be any different?

[uponit7771]

9. right ?! Good point, truck drivers are held to more account than police officers

[WhiskeyGrinder]

7. Fuck the police. The institution cannot be reformed.

[uponit7771]

10. DFW did it to a degree by firing mostly everyone and starting over, might have to happen everywhere

[WhiskeyGrinder]

11. Did what to what degree?

[uponit7771]

12. reform, I think there was a community it Newark did similar

[WhiskeyGrinder]

13. Departments are reforming all the time. 150 years of reform in Minneapolis got us to George Floyd.

[roamer65]

14. Fucking garbage cops.

[Hestia]

15. Why must people run when pulled over by the cops? It almost seems like suicide by cop

and then the families raise nine kinds of hell because their family member was shot, but guns or running are NEVER mentioned as contributing factors.

THIS IS NO WAY AN ENDORSEMENT OF COPS SHOOTING ANYONE IN THE BACK OR ANYWHERE ELSE but why run? That's what someone with a guilty conscience would do...oh, guarding an illegal gambling operation and walked up on the cops with a gun in his hand.

How do they know that he wasn't aware that the unmarked car had police inside? I am not seeing that statement from anyone other than the family lawyer? If he was running, when did he have time to tweet?

I don't know...I would definitely hate to be on either side in situations like this.

16. Because they will kill you.

Would you run from someone intent on killing you?

hmmm?

Hmmm?

hmmm?

[Nevilledog]

17. I...just can't even.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. Because cops hurt and kill people.
