UNJUSTIFIED SHOOTING DOESN'T NEED WHITEWASH
I sincerely hope the truth comes out regarding the slaying of Pastor
Jonathon Ayers.
The convenience store video plainly contradicts the claims of the
police.
Pastor Ayers was still backing up when he was shot, not pulling
forward to threaten the life of the officer as claimed.
Nor was he trying to hit the other officer when he backed up.
He was just trying to get away from two unknown guys in a black truck
who came out of nowhere, jumped from their vehicle and rushed him with
guns in hand.
Quite frankly, under the circumstances, I think I'd get out of there
too before I was held up or shot.
Meanwhile, the police have already admitted Ayers had nothing to do
with a drug deal but won't say what they know. They need to speak up,
because for all I know it was simply a pastor who gave a young woman a
ride and stopped to share the Gospel or write an address before
dropping her off something I myself have done a number of times. And
that's not a crime.
In any case, it appears the cops reacted way too fast and without due
cause.
I hope there will be no whitewash because so far I think this shooting
was without justification.
