According to police, Antonio LeGrier, father of the deceased student called 911 to report that his son was wielding a baseball bat and banging on his bedroom door. He notified their neighbor, Jones, that the police would be arriving and that his son had a bat. A statement released by police said that the officers were “confronted by a combative subject resulting in the discharging of the officer’s weapon, fatally wounding two individuals.” LeGrier was reportedly shot seven times. Blood was found in the vestibule of Jones’ apartment, after at least one bullet hit two of her walls. Jones’ 19 year old daughter found her with a gunshot wound to the neck. She was shot while opening her door, according to CBS News.
The full details of the incident have not been disclosed by police. LeGrier was an engineering student at Northern Illinois University, but also suffered mental health issues. His mother believes the situation could have been handled without resulting in his son’s death. “He didn’t have a gun. He had a bat. One or two times would have brought him down. You call the police, you try to get help and you lose a loved one,” she told the Chicago Tribune. “What are they trained for? Just to kill? I thought that we were supposed to get service and protection. I mean, my son was an honors student. He’s here for Christmas break, and now I’ve lost him. I’m trying to be strong because I pray. But that’s my only child. And I’m hurting. I’m hurting real bad.” are tasers just a cool jewelry accessory now? wouldn't THIS be a time they could have been used? that 'kill shot only' training needs to be revised,,,,,so sad,,, |

Deadly force (the bat) was met with deadly force (the gun).
As I see it, anyone dumb enough to threaten a cop, with a deadly weapon, needs to be culled from the herd. I'll put a note in my dayplanner, to send Chicago p.d., a 'thank you' card, first thing tomorrow morning. |

and maybe all the people griping about Right back at ya... politicians should enter a race and see what politicians 'actually go through' too,,,lol I wouldn't join the force because I would make Youre bltching abt officers actions based off a story on a frickin Hip Hop websites article that included this line... a crappy officer, but those who do should make GOOD officers,, that's what they are PAID for " The full details of the incident have not been disclosed by police." ....you really dont know what happened. But any reason to complain about how the popo treats the black man, amirite? still not quite grasping the difference? Coming from you, thats hilarious.
