The Curious Case of Adolph Grimes.

This stinks to high heaven:



Facts to consider: The victim had never been in trouble with the law. The victim had a concealed carry permit for his weapon. The victim was shot 14 times, 12 in the back. The officers fired 48 times (meaning only 29% of their rounds hit their intended target). The NOPD isn't talking.

According to this, the officers were allegedly in plain clothes, looking for a suspect and approached the victim with weapons drawn.

According to this (see the 7 January post), the initial police report did not mention the victim (Grimes) discharging his weapon, but it was revised later to say that he fired first.

Firearms owners, CCW permit holders, the NRA, the GOA and other pro-2nd Amendment groups should be raising the roof over this.
