I am sorry for your loss.But why is the race card always used?If it is true that he shot first at the police,then I believe it was justified.It isn't a good idea to put your phone number on a public site,you will be getting alot of calls from wackos.

The police say he shot a cop but still shooting him in handcuffs is a bit much Good luck on your case

I'm very sorry for your loss. I looked up a story on this case. Did Jerome first shoot a police officer before they shot him? If so, I think it will be hard to stir support for the incident.

While I am sorry for your loss he had a gun which he used against the officers. He shot one so they were justified in shooting back. Being hand cuffed did not stop him from getting the gun and using it.
