Family of black man shot dead by police want shooting videos released after seeing them

Absolutely. His family should have know him better than anyone. They either didn't know him at all, or they weren't willing to publicly admit what he was really like.

Remember Pierre Loury? 17 year old HS Junior in Chicago, was in a car that was pulled over on suspicion of being used in a shooting hours before. Loury takes off running, cops chase. No body camera, but witnesses were there. Both cops and unnamed witness said his pants got caught on the fence (really?) Cops say he pulled a gun from his waistband, and they fired. He was struck once in the chest, taken to the hospital, died around an hour later. A semi-automatic was recovered on the scene.

His family is all over the news, telling the cameras he doesn't own a gun, is never around them, never even held one before. >The teenager's mother, Tambrasha Hudson, claims her son did not even own a gun.'Everything they said on the news is not the truth. It is not the truth. It's not the truth,' said Hudson. 'It's sad! My baby was 16, not 30. My baby was 16! Sixteen!'

People actually started protesting. Pictures of protest

Somebody (most likely family and/or friends) logged into his FB, deleted certain photos and posts, and made the profile private.

Luckily, some people went to his FB BEFORE that and saved hard copies of the images....almost like they had a feeling they would be deleted shortly thereafter.

Here's like 20+ pictures of us posing with guns and cash. Not to mention the shit HE ACTUALLY TYPES OUT. You really have to read it for yourself.

The best part is the timestamps, which show several being taken within weeks of his incident with police.

Look at the photos, they have a minimum of 30 likes. Some even have hundreds. How could they NOT HAVE KNOWN? Not a single one of his family members was friends with him on FB? Sure, like any reasonable person would believe that.

If the photos were able to be downloaded by random people, then they were never private to begin with so there's no way he could have concealed that from his family. Fuck his family. They either knew what he was up to, allowed it, and never put a stop to it or they didn't even know at all. It's one of the two and both make them look horrible and rightfully so. It's pathetic people even rioted over this.

And I'm supposed to believe his family when they try and spoon-feed the country that bullshit? His mom talking about him being a baby was the real kicker. Yeah, a baby with a giant fucking RMG tattoo on his throat.

And cops confirmed later he was a documented gang member. He had a giant "RMG" tattoo on his neck that apparently stands for Reese Money Gang, something he frequently referred to on FB.

I have no tolerance or patience for that kind of delusion, and I would hope the same for others. It's pathetic people protested his death. So as for lying, it happens everywhere. Rich, poor, black, white, cops, civilians, media.
