[Are_grits_groceries]

The officer who brutally beat special needs student Marshawn Pitts has been identified as 38-year-old Christopher Lloyd, according to Chicago Breaking News, which spoke to Lloyd's father.

The news agency reported that Lloyd is currently in jail after being charged with the rape of a woman he knew and is facing a 20-year sentence should he be convicted.

The Chicago Tribune-backed service adds: "A lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Nicole McKinney, last summer alleges he gunned down her new husband Cornel McKinney in front of their children outside their home on the 6100 block of South Langley Avenue on Feb. 17, 2008."

An autopsy revealed Lloyd shot the man 24 times, the agency found. He was not jailed at the time as Chicago police accepted his explanation that the killing was in self-defense.

Self-defense? 24 times?

1. Christopher Lloyd was great in Buckaroo Banzai

But this Christopher Lloyd sounds like a first-rate asshole.

3. Will he use the flux capacitor to beat the rap on this?

n/t.

2. Shooting a guy 24 times is SELF-DEFENSE?

Most people couldn't get that verdict if they shot the Terminator.

4. He was twitching in a threatening manner.

6. If you have to reload to continue shooting the unarmed person

I'd say that it starts to get away from credible self defense.

8. Haven't you ever seen any of the Friday the 13th movies? n/t

11. Doh! I didn't even think of that!

12. Did he testify that the guy kept creeping towards him saying "Brains....Brains..."?

n/t.

7. Two 12 round clips emptied into the guy.......nt

5. How many times did the cop have to reload? n/t

9. Likely only once.

Most cop sidearms has 12-15 round capacity. 12+12 or 15+7

It is "possible" it had 10 round capacity which would require 2 reloads 10+10+4. It is rather unlikely that a low capacity firearm was used. Most Police agencies switched to higher capacity firearms almost 2 decades ago. Of course he may have been off duty and had a small firearm for CCW it which case ammo capacity could be as low as 6 requiring 3 reloads.

The only thing we know for sure is he had to stop and reload at least once, which really strains the credibility of self defense claim. It is possible in fight or flight to shoot far more than you intended or even realized (cops/soldiers/civilians believe they shot 2-3 times but magazine is empty) however than phenomenon doesn't include spontaneous reloads.

10. Shame on the police for protecting one of their own. Thanks to their inaction, this boy was

brutally assaulted by a cop who was accused of shooting his ex-wife's new husband 24 times. They accepted his excuse that it was "self-defense" and then the filthy pig went on to abuse this young man and allegedly rape a woman.

Whoever made the decision to allow this piece of shit to continue working and place him in a school with special needs students needs to be fired.
