Is Charles Co. Racist?

[bresamil]

To put it more plainly, I'd rather have a edgy cop than an edgy thug in my neighborhood.

Yep. I wouldn't have cared if he was eating a hot dog when they took him down, as long as it was known he was guilty of drug dealing.

Hopefully the meeting tonight will resolve some of the rumors, but for some reason, I doubt that.

It will just turn into a huge conspiracy theory involving the Sheriff’s Department, State’s Attorney, FBI, NWACP and whoever else is in attendance.

This reply is to every one on this forum, who think the police where just doing their job. That's bull ####, they killed a man just because he was young, black and had a criminal history and the police did not do a good job, escorting the funeral, they weren't even directing traffic at the burial site.
Why is the police lying about how many times they shot him? about how long they let this boy lay on the ground before they got help. This society is doomed if this is who is suspose to protect us. They should be looking for the killers, the rapist, the man going around trying to kidnapp kids in Charles County, but instead they target us young black people trying to survive.

Trying to survive by crime and drugs? Surely you don not take your posts seriously. As for why they killed him...there's more than one of those around but he happened to be the drunk one that pulled a gun on them that morning. Never mind all the other circumstances, he resisted arrest and pulled a gun. Boom. Case closed.

Also the mayor showed up and the funeral, since when does the mayer show up at the funeral of a convicted criminal? When their police department kills a person for NO legal reason. No matter what we do, and no matter what the facts state you all will refuse to believe that there are ####ed up cops in this world. We can't bring back our friend, who was some one's son, brother, uncle and nephew. When it's all said and done and they release the facts to the public, about what really happen(like how many times they shot him) then what, are you all still going to be so ignorant to believe he deserved to die.

Just face it, the white people are always trying to hold the black, (crack dealer, with 2 warrants, armed, with drugs and weapons in the vehicle who resists arrest) man down.

Why do you keep ignoring the facts? He was not killed for "no reason". He was a convicted criminal, who pulled a gun on the officers, and met his demise. Case closed. It has nothing to do with black or white. It is the funeral homes responsibility to direct traffic at the grave site. Not the police. They got them there safely, just like they are suppose to do. More people need to take responsibility for their own actions. Stop trying to shift blame to the police. It was not their fault.

Actually, by saying he pulled a gun, you are making him sound too innocent. He tried to murder a cop. If he had succeded, we would have a dead cop (or three) and he'd be facing a hot needle. Either way he's dead as soon as he takes a shot, or a dead man walking.

There are two facts here that matter: Attempted murder and self defense.

Nothing else matters. Skin color, drugs, nothing.

Repeat after me. Attempted murder, self defense.

Private property?
Political reasons?
The officers shot at had no family to consider?
Those of us that obey the law shouldn't be protected against drug dealing hoodlums?
Again, shouldn't the rest of us be protected? Besides, news reports indicate the sorry-ass attempted kidnappers are black...

I guess I just don't get it...

Did Marion get the drugs he came for? And Marion is a former mayor....

Hey stupid, since you are all hung up on how many times your friend was drilled I started a poll so you can get a good sense of actually how everyone feels.

You're right, they should have been directing people to either drive over, or even piss on this poor, young, black man's grave.

They should have dragged the corpse behind a police cruiser to the grave.

Also the mayor showed up and the funeral, since when does the mayer show up at the funeral of a convicted criminal? Basically when he is trying to stop a bunch of race baiting animals from rioting. When their police department kills a person for NO legal reason You mean other than pulling a gun on cops of course. No matter what we do, and no matter what the facts state you all will refuse to believe that there are ####ed up cops in this world. Just like you have refused to accept your punk as friend yanked a gun on cops with a car load of dope. We can't bring back our friend, Good thing, why waste time shooting him again in a couple months who was some one's son, brother, uncle and nephew Sad old Johnny didn't think of his mom, sister, brother, aunt and uncle and nephew before he started his life of crime. When it's all said and done and they release the facts to the public, about what really happen You will still stick your head in the race baiter sand and deny it. (like how many times they shot him) See the poll http://forums.somd.com/showthread.php?t=70990 then what, are you all still going to be so ignorant to believe he deserved to die. Uh yea Why is the police lying about how many times they shot him? Cost overun on bullets? about how long they let this boy lay on the ground before they got help. Generally when you aorta is protruding out the exit wound you are beyond help This society is doomed if you are going to continue making excuses and deny Johnny was a criminal and caused his own death. Go talk some kid into being a legit citizen and not be a ganster, save a life it is too late for Johnny this is who is suspose to protect us. They should be looking for the killers, the rapist, the man going around trying to kidnapp kids in Charles County, but instead they target us young black people trying to survive.

Dude, it's not about pulling a gun. It's about trying to murder a cop.

 

[Pete]

Dude, it's not about pulling a gun. It's about trying to murder a cop.

That fact has not escaped me, eclark has trouble with it though

 

[Pete]

Oh and eclark please pass on the general mentality of the people down here about thugs, crack dealers and gangsters of any color to any of your other thug friends. They have been creeping south with their ganster activities and I don't like it much.

 

[stm citizen]

After reading every post on this subject, I feel compelled to reply. The officer that fired a single shot at the suspect is a close friend of my family.
Eclark, you keep mentioning when are the police going to tell the truth about how many times the officer shot Mr. Lyles, to my knowledge, there were two gunshot wounds, one was caused by the gun that Officer Walters had fired and the second gunshot wound to the hand of Mr. Lyles was from the discharge of the gun that Mr. Lyles had fired at the Police Officers from the Charles County Sheriffs Office.
You question why the Mayor showed up at the funeral of the criminal his Officers had shot and killed. The Mayor of the Town of La Plata, does not have any control or say over the Officers of the Charles County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Fred Davis, and the Charles County Commissioners actually have say over the Sheriff's Officers.
As I sit here typing this out, most of you are not aware of what is actually happening in the Town of La Plata. The information that I have received is that the people of the Phoenix Run area, that are not Law Biding Citizens are planning to KILL A WHITE OFFICER, ANY WHITE OFFICER, BECAUSE A WHITE OFFICER KILLED MR. LYLES. Now Eclark, you and your friends are starting a racial war.
Mr. Lyles was not shot because the officer knew of his criminal history, this is hearsay on your part. Mr. Lyles had an ID on him that stated he was Mr. Butler. If your friend Mr. Lyles had actually given the Officer his correct name, He would have been arrested right there, due to his outstanding warrants for his arrest. I have read very carefully all of your posts. You stated that Mr. Lyles was trying to straighten up, however I find this difficult to believe. The actions taken by your friend that night, provide me with the evidence the your friend felt that he was guilty of something. Could it be that he was guilty of having the gun that was fired at the officers? Could it be that he was guilty of giving a false statement to the officers (i.e.: the Identification he was in possession of that did not belong to him)? Was it that he was guilty of disobeying a lawful order? Could he actually be guilty of the large amount of drugs that was found in the car that Mr. Lyles was passed out in with the engine running? Why did he feel it necessary to fire at the officers? Could it be that if he had actually cooperated with the police officers, he would be facing jail time, once again. Maybe that the drugs would be seized, after his arrest, I'm sure his supplier would not have been as polite to Mr. Lyles as Officer Walter had been. You wouldn't be mourning the lost of a dear friend right now, you would be all looking at each other asking "Has anyone seen Johnny lately”?
In closing, it is my personal opinion that we all create what will become of ourselves. The paths that we CHOOSE to follow my not always be the right one, and we have to accept our fate that awaits us at the end of that path. Mr. Lyle's choice to take that path that lead him to the Phoenix Run Community that evening resulted in his fate.

Great post! Tell your friend, Officer Walter our best and let him know we support him 100%. He did a great job!
