2 men charged in Georgia officer's fatal shooting

2018-10-21

[NY Post] Officer Antwan Toney was black. The two perps are as well. BLM doesn't count when the cops are black
SNELLVILLE, Ga. ‐ Two teen-aged suspects have been charged, including one man who remains on the loose, in connection with the fatal shooting of a George police officer who was killed while responding to a suspicious vehicle parked near a middle school, authorities said Sunday.

Gwinnett County Police said in a statement that Isaiah Pretlow, 19, was arrested about 11:30 p.m. Saturday and charged with aggravated assault. A second suspect, Tafahree Maynard, 18, has been charged with aggravated assault and felony murder but remains at large and should be considered armed and dangerous.

Both men are suspected in the afternoon shooting near Snellville of Officer Antwan Toney, the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a news release.

Toney died at a hospital from his injuries, police said. The 30-year-old from Southern California had been with the Gwinnett County Police Department for nearly three years. It was his first police job.

"The people that worked with Officer Toney on a daily basis recalled a very jovial person who was dedicated to his job and dedicated to his community," Gwinnett County Police Chief Butch Ayers said.

#7 I'll take SteveS' Western Civ in my 1:00-1:30 block. Something tells me he'll keep the entire class awake and attentive.

#5 it isn’t about melanin content but about choosing to be civilized or uncivilized, both of whch are open to all members of the species Homo sapiens.

This is why Western Civilization* totally rocks. Not only did it invent pretty much everything in our modern world, but it's a big tent - anyone can join no matter what your race, color, creed or planet of origin. And we don't give a flip about that 'cultural appropriation' nonsense either. Want to fly a plane, ride a bike or build a Mars rocket? Have at it! The more the merrier, so line up and sign up today.

* You can call it The White Man, you can call it The Patriarchy. I prefer Western Civ - it's more accurate and less whiny.

#4 Two studious buddies of Snellville
Whose attitude wasn't, well, helpful,
Were just, said black leaders,

#3 It’s not an outlook I agree with, Besoeker. As far as I’m concerned, it isn’t about melanin content but about choosing to be civilized or uncivilized, both of whch are open to all members of the species Homo sapiens.

#2 they become functionally white

Interesting turn pf phrase. Factual as well.

#1 Silly Frank G! According to a certain outlook, once they join the police force they become functionally white, regardless of genetic melanin content.
