Does Anyone Care That A Cop Shot And Killed An Unarmed White Guy In South Carolina?

Black activists, liberals, and their media propaganda machine are currently outraged by the death of Sam DuBose, an unarmed black man killed by a cop in Cincinnati. Despite being eerily similar to that case, no one seems to care that a police officer in South Carolina shot and killed an unarmed white guy. The officer in Cincinnati was arrested and charged with murder. The officer in South Carolina didn’t even mention the shooting in his report.
Greenvilleonline reports that last Sunday 19-year old Seneca, SC resident Zachary Hammond was lured to a Hardee’s parking lot as part of a drug-sting operation. An officer approached his car with a gun drawn and a moment later Hammond was dead from a gunshot wound. The officer said that Hammond accelerated towards him and he responded by firing two shots. Police found a small amount of marijuana in Hammond’s car but no weapons.
There is however a big problem with the officer’s story. The autopsy shows that Hammond was shot twice in the back at point-blank rage. Eric Bland, an attorney hired by Hammond’s family, explains:
“It is clearly, clearly from the back,” Bland said after viewing pictures of the bullet wounds at the coroner’s office Wednesday. “It is physically impossible for him to be trying to flee or run over the officer that shot him.”
Bland said the autopsy indicated that the first shot went into Hammond’s left rear shoulder, throwing him forward in the car, and the second one went at a downward angle into his side from the rear, through his heart and lungs and leaving out his lower right side.
The entry wounds were five inches apart, he said.
“The shots were so close in proximity to each other that it would be physically impossible unless the car was stopped and the officer came up very close to an open window,” Bland said.
“Picture a car going 20 miles an hour and I’m fortunate enough to get a shot off, and I hit you —there’s no way I can get the second shot if the car’s going 20 miles an hour,” Bland said.
These findings would seem to dispute the officer’s account of things, but then again we will just have to take the police department’s word for this because the officer didn’t even mention the shooting in his report of the drug bust. Doesn’t it seem kind of strange that an officer would shoot and kill someone during a drug sting and then omit that detail from the report on the incident?
It looks very likely that a police officer shot a teenager in the back twice, killing him, over a bag of weed. Where’s the outrage? This case is almost identical to the Sam DuBose killing in Cincinnati where an officer shot him in the head during a traffic stop. The only difference is, Zachary Hammond was white and Sam Dubose was black.
Actually, there are a couple of other differences. Officer Ray Tensing has been arrested and charged with Sam DuBose’s murder. The unnamed officer that killed Hammond has been placed on paid leave. Sam DuBose got a shout out from Hillary Clinton in her “black lives matter” speech before the Urban League. The former Secretary of State didn’t not mention Zachary Hammond.
This case proves once again how utterly full of sh*t the #blacklivesmatter movement is. Through their selective outrage they like to pretend that cops are racist and only target and kill black people, yet here we have a case of an officer killing an unarmed white guy. And guess what? It’s not an isolated incident. Look at what has happened this year so far:
June 20, 2015 – LAPD Shot and killed white man armed with a towel.
May 11, 2015 – St. John’s, FL officers shoot and kill suicidal white man Justin Way.
May 26, 2015 – Trenton, MI cops shoot and kill white teenager Kyle Baker.
May 29, 2015 – Oklahoma State Troopers shoot and kill unarmed white guy Nehemiah Fischer who was trying to rescue his vehicle from a flood.
February 2, 2015 – Hummelstown, PA officer shoots unarmed white guy David Kassick in the back killing him.
And let’s not forget last year’s unjustified killing of white guy Dillon Taylor by Salt Lake City police.
None of these dead white men are nationally known like Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, and now Sam DuBose. Why?
