No Charges in Wal-Mart BB Gun Shooting

Watch the video. Dude's just shopping for pet food, swinging a BB gun, and minding his own business. Then, BAM.

Apparently the Dayton PD trains their officers to murder people.

A special grand jury called to review evidence in the fatal shooting of John Crawford III, killed by police in an Ohio Walmart while carrying a BB gun from store's shelves, decided today that no officers involved in the shooting will be indicted.

Surveillance video from Crawford's shooting—previously unavailable to the public—shows Crawford walking around the store while talking on the phone, with the BB gun at his side or on his shoulder. The disturbing video then shows an officer rushing toward Crawford with his gun drawn before shooting him.

Though the special grand jury reportedly considered charging the officers with murder, reckless homicide, or negligent homicide, WHIO reports the jury ultimately decided not to indict the officers involved in the shooting, finding their actions were justified.

Vince Pope, attorney for the officers involved in the shooting, released a statement following the decision:

"I believe the grand jury's decision, it's absolutely the right decision, that the officers acted well within their training."

Derrick Foward, president of the Dayton Unit NAACP, also released a statement:

"The Special Grand Jury in Greene County made the wrong decision. It's a sad day in the history of Dayton."

Foward added the NAACP will call for a complete investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

He's not wrong. Police are trained to shoot black people on sight and that's what happened. Nothing to see here.

That looked like a cold blooded killing. The kid dropped the BB gun and THEN got shot. How in the hell are those actions "justified"?

Abso-****ing-lutely ridiculous.

Interesting. Are you allowed to shoot someone with a BB gun? What if it was a real gun and he was licensed to carry?

NB4 BLACK GUY WAS A THUG!

It's as if prosecutors doesn't really want to convict cops for questionable shoots....

I can understand it if he was waving that BB gun at a cashier demanding money or he'd ****ing kill her. But this? What in the actual ****?

This could only happen at Wal-Mart

First off why the **** are you walking around the store with a BB gun?
