Black Teen Shot At 17 Times, Killed By White Cop Just Miles Away From First Ferguson Shooting

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Here we go again.

Exactly two months after the deadly shooting of Michael Brown by a local police officer in Ferguson, MO, it is time for the sequel. Overnight, in nearly the same spot as the Brown shooting, a white off-duty policeman shot and killed a black teenager in St Louis, officers said, triggering a night of protests just miles from the site of another police shooting of another black youth in the suburb of Ferguson.

Reuters has the details: police said the 18-year-old was armed and fired three shots while he was being chased by the officer, and they had recovered a gun at the scene.  The youth was killed almost two months to the day since sometimes violent protests erupted in Ferguson after a white police officer shot dead unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown.

In Wednesday's shooting, the dead man was one of three people who fled after being approached by the officer, a six-year veteran of the department who was working for a private security company, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Chief Sam Dotson said.

Now, one can debate police excess, and while a cop shooting once, twice or three times at an alleged assailant may seem somewhat reasonable, lobbing off 17 shots (which means stopping to reload) is probably a little excessive! 

The officer, who was wearing his city police uniform, fired 17 shots at the teenager, police added.

To summarize: cops say Myer was armed but witnesses say he was only holding a sandwich when he was tased, fell over & then was shot at 17 times of which "only" three hit.

* * *

A crowd of around 200 gathered at the scene in the south St. Louis neighborhood of Shaw, 11 miles (18 km) south of Ferguson. Many of the protesters marched to a major thoroughfare, partially blocking traffic and chanting "Whose streets? Our streets?" as a police helicopter hovered overhead.

Teyonna Myers, 23, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper that she was the cousin of the suspect and that he was unarmed when he was killed.

"He had a sandwich in his hand, and they thought it was a gun. It's like Michael Brown all over again," she told the paper. Police have not named the teenager.

And then the riots began. "At one point, about a dozen people punched and kicked two occupied police vehicles, one that was marked and another that was unmarked. Demonstrators then broke the back window of a marked police vehicle. None of the protesters, some of whom were from Ferguson, had been arrested by the early hours of Thursday, police chief Dotson told a news conference."

"I think the department showed a tremendous amount of restraint," Dotson said.

He probably wasn't referring to the 17 shots fired earlier.

The officer, who was not hurt, has been placed on administrative leave and an investigation was under way, police said.

 

St Louis' historic Shaw district has a relatively low crime rate - as of September, there had been no homicides this year and just five cases of aggravated assault, according to police crime statistics.

 

In Ferguson, a grand jury is expected to decide next month whether to bring criminal charges against police officer Darren Wilson, who shot dead Michael Brown on Aug. 9.

 

Brown's death triggered weeks of sometimes violent protests, prompting the governor at one point to summon the National Guard.

And in other news, the riots which died down over the past two months, may be set for a violent comeback: "Missouri authorities are drawing up contingency plans and seeking intelligence from other police departments around the country, fearing that fresh riots could erupt if a grand jury does not indict Wilson."

Per Twitter reports, the casualty is 18 year-old Vonderrick Myer.

Its a shame criminality has to be a cultural trait.

I do agree that 17 shots was excessive. This officer needs additional range time to improve his marksmanship.

Or change training tactics. Moving targets like the one involved here are a entirely different animal,pun intended, than a static target one shoots at from belt buckle to belt buckle. No doubt in this situation there was a whole lot of movement going on target wise.

See my comment above....the thing about fleeing criminals is they tend not to stand 10 yards away and directly face you while holding perfectly still, they do however occasionally shoot back at you, as appears to be the case here.  I wouldn't be too quick to criticize his marksmanship.

My Glock 22 (a typical police weapon)holds 18 rounds with extended mag and a round in the chamber. Would not require a reload. 17 rounds fired during a chase does not mean 17 vital hits. Only one round may have been a terminal hit. Do your homework Tylers before sensationalizing.

My understanding is that police training usually teaches officers to unload a full magazine. The logic is that is deadly force is called for in the first place, a super-abundant response is necessary (LEOs please correct me on this.)

 

As others have pointed out, a magazine can hold 18 rounds.

 

Now, obviously there should be a review of the facts, as this is any any shooting. But to assume excessive force is, in my view, incorrect. Perhaps the 'community' should spend as much time on introspection and weighing problems from within as they do blaming whitey/police/Bush/etc.

I don't think the number of shots fired is an important factor. If the victim was carrying a gun the police officer was probably entitled to shoot him if he believed he represented a threat. Whether it was one shot or 17 is not too important.

Much more important is whether Myer carried a gun or a sandwich. That shouldn't be too difficult to determine.

From the Reuters article: "...police said the 18-year-old was armed and fired three shots while he was being chased by the officer, and they had recovered a gun at the scene."

His second amendment right does not include him firing off three shots while running away as the police officer claims, if indeed he fired three shots. Who knows who's telling the truth.

I live near Dayton, Ohio. In the next suburb near us, in Beavercreek, right after the Ferguson shooting, local police shot dead a black gentleman inside the Wal-Mart because he was holding a air rifle that he had picked up at the store. The recently released store video tape showed the police screaming at the man repeatedly to put the gun down. He would not. When he turned with the gun still raised, the officers fired and shot him dead. Draw your own conclusions.

I always try to make a case for both sides.
The police, The Greene County prosecutors office and the Ohio AG's office DID NOT release the video tape for public consumption for almost TWO. MONTHS. Why? Well my educated guess is they needed to alter the tape to justify the officers actions. Why else would they not show this to ANYONE, the family attorney's, the local media, etc. Did they have to get "everyone on the same page?"
Naturally, there were no witnesses, other than the police...are they ever going to show the whole, unedited, raw tape footage... Probally not.
All the public is is going to remember is the edited sound bite that was given to the local media.
Will this case ever make it to a Grand Jury, and if it did, would they see the whole unedited store tape...probally not.
This whole incident started with someone calling the police from their cell phone and said there was a man with a gun at the Beavercreek Wal-Mart. Instead of sealing the building and trying to diffuse the situation peacefully, the gung-ho local cowboys decided to rush in with weapons drawn.
If the man would have just listened, laid down on the ground, and shown his hands, this unfortunate incident may have been avoided...by the way, my opinion is Ronald Ritchie probally needs to be charged for calling this event in, since he can't differentiate between a cell phone, gun or rifle.

Misinformation in article: "lobbing off 17 shots (which means stopping to reload) is probably a little excessive!"

Another very realistic possibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glock_22 :

The gun comes standard with 2 (3 if Gen 4) 15-round magazines; 17- and 28-round magazines (that will function in other .40-caliber Glock handguns) are also available.

 

Course, it does make you wonder why this officer couldn't hit the broad side of a barn, and how others weren't hit as collateral damage.

Just an added thought. If you've ever had an overrush of of adrenalin, it's hard to control minute movement ie steadying the aim of a firearm. There's a reason cops tend to be bad shots situations where they feel threatened via a weapon pointed or it being fired at them. I don't know what happened but that should answer your question or doubt as to how that factors in.

In the middle of a gun fight, one should always count the number of rounds that go off so the asshead MSM can approve of that number.

 

That cop's intent was to kill.  If you assault a cop, they are going to beat the hell out of you.  If you shoot at a cop, they will kill you.

 

Calling time out during an engagement such as one of these does not apply.

 

Cops are well trained and well armed.  If you feel like testing the veracity of this, expect to die.

 

Cops have a shit job to do.

"Cops are well trained and well armed"

No they aren't and that's the problem.  They are too well armed and trained for normal polite society and not armed or trained enough to deal with the animals.  That's why you see them tazing and arresting J-Walkers, SWAT storming the wrong-house for petty drug crimes but also completely unable to deal with the north american pavement ape.

I don't know what the hell you call it, anarcho-tyranny I guess, but a 1st world country it ain't.

The funny part is you guys don't even realize you have a problem down there. Looking at the UK and Canada... I can think of only one time in the past five years where police in Canada fatally wounded someone. In the UK it has been over two years and they have had to discharge their weapons twice. 

So someone explain to me why it is necessary to shoot 17 times? and kill people every week by shooting them? You have a gun problem and a people problem through my eyes.

Keep shooting until your opponent is no longer a threat.  You were not there. It is quite possible he showed great restraint in firing only 17 rounds.  The officer probably had at least 2 more mags on him.  I'm no cop lover, but if I have a gun out and pointed at the cop I just entered the stupid game where the only prizes are stupid prizes.

You're absolutely right there's a problem.

Even in Switzerland where they are pretty much required to own full auto nato spec assault rifles there isn't anything like the number of shootings as the US...

It obviously wouldn't per se be a gun problem though.

CONCLUSIONS from analyzing family and witness accounts:


(1) Vunderrit was a good boy;

(2) the sandwich pulled from ‘Vun’ waist band just had to be in a ‘Dutch Crunch’ bun to survive the chase;

(3) punks need to hold their ‘sandwiches’ upright when fired—otherwise they will, indeed, misfire and leave tomato and pickle casings;

(4) black youths are turning to violence because their parents are giving them such strange names;

(5) all cops when confronted with a suspect firing a Dutch Crunch sandwich will resort to being racist killers;

(6) flights from NYC to St. Louis this afternoon will be booked

(7) heard from the Justice Department’s corner office last night: “I was so looking forward to going back to St. Louis.”

"Said otherwise, cops say Myer was armed but witnesses say he was only holding a sandwich when he was tased, fell over & then was shot at 17 times of which "only" three hit."

Are these the same witnesses that said Big Mike, future college student, was just peacefully minding his own business when he was  shot in the back by some cop?

The police press conference already released information with ballistic evidence that the cop was shot at three times.

And you are expecting these "witnesses" to tell the truth? Assuming the premise the kid was loaded and committing felonies, is there a black "witness" anywhere that would tell the cops this? I have no idea what the truth is here; my only point is that you aren't going to get it from people who have an agenda for anarchy and "thug behavior", which sadly inner cities [especially] have evolved into.

Most cops are good cops. If you think the statement is incorrect, you're delusional. To people who are social misfits, cops interfere with the way they want to live, hence the acrimony. But mis-fits do not belong in a free society because of their disruptive and obnoxious behavior. I say "get the misfits, black, white or brown off the streets, officer". Red arrows will be labeled as social misfits.

"Disparity of Force" is the "go to" rhetorical argument of the Liberals.  If someone choses to beat you to death with his fists or a club, then you have NO right to use a gun to defend yourself.  If someone throws a rock at you, then you have NO right to use a gun to defend yourself.  If someone SHOOTS a gun at you, BUT ONLY fires THREE cartridges, then you have abso-freakin-lutetly NO right to fire more then three shots in return.

It's a shame that the concept, Disparity of Force, even exists because it is only abused.

And forget about trying to explain "Rules of Engagement"; the concept that pointing a gun at someone is grounds for the threatened party to open fire with their own weapon.  To the Libs, one is supposed to give an aggressor several "trial shots", "freebies", before any response.

If the USA were Buddhist, instead of christian taliban, then terminating the current incarnation, ie "killing", would not matter because the essence would just be reincarnated, therefore every individual should be 100% justified in using whatever kind & amount of force to defend themself as they choose.

In reading other sources this morning.

The youth was known to authorities and was out on bail for illegal weapon possesion and resisting arrest.

The recovered ruger was jambed and 3 casings were found.

Cop did not have a taser.

1 of the other suspects told cop, you just killed my friend.

 

So to believe cop did wrong here we would need to believe that the cop through down the second gun, already jambed, and 3 shell casings to go with it while the other suspects were standing there.

Still goes by like a flash.  Glock 17 has 17 round mags, Glock 22 has 15 round mags , that round count in the mag and then +1 in the chamber if you are carrying condition 0 as I am sure he was.
