A large knife was on the scene and an old guy was kicking it. The teenager was then rushed to a nearby hospital and is recovering, he has health insurance. The Tracy California police will provide further details about the criminal incident after the investigations are completed.
Well, thank Allah he has health insurance! What a weird thing to note in the article
| Everybody “knows” that American healthcare is designed to drive the middle class into penury, while the poor die in the streets. Nobody knows, even many Americans, that there have been systems in place for generations that provide free care to the needy, with the cost born by the states through Medicaid and by the hospitals. |
The officer shot the boy because he feared his safety and that of others around him is identified as C. Ramirez, according to Tracy Mountain Review.
The footage shows an old woman, and a few men probably Afghans gathering at the scene and shouting for help, while the alleged victim is laying down on the ground before he was taken to the hospital.
| Don’t go to America, guys — the cops’ll shoot you dead in the street for no reason at all. |
Tracy Police Chief Sekou Millington expressed his thoughts and sympathized with everyone involved in this tragic incident.
The incident comes days after five Memphis coppers were charged with murder and other crimes in the killing of Tyre Nichols, a motorist who died three days after a confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop.
KCRA News adds that CAIR-Sacramento has involved themselves, the the boy with the knife and the other person he was chasing are brothers, the police had multiple 911 calls to the scene for a domestic disturbance, and the boy with the knife ignored police orders to drop it, instead advancing on the policeman, a 28-year veteran with the Tracy police force. |
