Source: South_agency / Getty Birmingham Police Killed Innocent Army Vet In Mall Shooting We’re really sick and tired of cops shooting first and asking questions last . That strategy usually seems to leave a bloody Black body behind, often times an innocent one. Many of you are aware of the shooting that took place following a fight on Thanksgiving day inside a Birmingham, Alabama shopping mail where an 18-year-old boy was shot twice and a 12-year-old girl was hit by a stray bullet. Police responded and gunned down the man they believed to be the shooter. Well, according to DailyMail, that man, 21-year-old Army vet and son-of-a-cop, Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., was not the shooter as local police have now announced. The police revealed new video evidence showing that Bradford may have been attempting to break up the fight between the 18-year-old and another man, but he did not do the shooting. pic.twitter.com/uTZSrua1On — Hoover Police Dept (@HooverPD) November 24, 2018 That said, police say Bradford was running away from them while brandishing a gun and that’s their justification for killing him. You can rest assured that the NRA won’t insert their “good guys with guns” narrative into this story. I knew him and worked with him. He was an amazing and sweet guy. My heart aches for his family. He was shot and murdered on site in cold blood. He was exercising his 2A rights, but since he was black, became a threat to the white Hoover PD. — StaceFace (@Halcyon83) November 24, 2018 Hoover PD is super aggressive. I wish I could say I'm surprised. Where is the NRA's outrage? Or does the good guy with a gun thing only apply to whites too? We have innocent citizens being murdered by police in our streets and public places – what happened to American justice? — Jelly Robbins (@RobbinsJelly) November 24, 2018 Suffice to say, the community is angry. If everyone else in the mall was pulling out their guns how they knew who the shooter was and how we know the shooter shot that girl ? Police could have did it in the cross fire. They got a mess in Hoover — Jas Mon'Vogue (@JassyBravo) November 24, 2018 I’ve known Ej Bradford since middle school! Bruh ain’t had a bad trait about him. All he did was put laughter into people. Always kept a smile on his face every single time I saw him. He always kept it G. He was murdered wrongly and Hoover police need to admit it and come clean. — oogway
