Another Florida police officer has shot an unarmed African American. This time, the Florida officer shot and critically wounded a 28-year-old man early Monday during an investigation into a stolen car in Orlando.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings had little to say about the case besides this, but witnesses claim that the victim, Cedric Bartee, literally had his hands up, begging Sergeant Robert McCarthy not to shoot.
Bartee had his hands in the air, but in spite of this damning detail, during a press conference Monday, Demings said, “I ask everyone to not rush to judgment and allow the investigation to be completed.”
Demings said that “because of the backdrop of everything happening in the country at this time… It’s concerning to me” how people might react to this shooting of an unarmed African American with his hands literally up in the air when he was shot.
Demings came to the defense of Sergeant McCarthy, saying that he only shot Bartee because he failed to comply with police commands. Apparently, this has now become the criterion for when police can use lethal force, even though it has no legal basis.

If you're not trolling, keep us posted. -
So what did the cop say to him that he didn't abide by if he is pleading with the officer not to shoot him. He has his hands up and is clearly showing he doesn't want to start anything what threat is he presenting to an armed cop with the ability to call backup??? ? this ? he knows he just wanted to pull the trigger because he'll know he can most likely get away with it. There is a bounty on black people man smh.

Its ? up when that's the bright side of things. -
This doesn't matter unless you post a story about a black woman too.
-
Damn, why couldn't a black woman get shot, they need a fair shot at National outrage too.
-
These ? cops think that the odds are they're going to get away with killing black men. It's open season on blacks right now.
-
Can't wait to see how this was his fault and not the policeman's.
-
Yep. Only if it could've been a black transDamn, why couldn't a black woman get shot, they need a fair shot at National outrage too.

The cop and the guy that got shot are both wrong. The cop is wrong for being trigger happy; and the shot guy is wrong for riding around in a stolen car.
But these two people aren't the worse of the wrong people in this case. The wrongest people are the ones who are trying to get black people to rally around a criminal. The bad blacks need to be separated from the good blacks in order for there to be progress. -
