Well here we go again, this does not come as a surprise but I am tired of it. 25 year old Cary Ball was shot in St. Louis 25 times by the police. Now, let's start with what he did wrong, because he does play a negative roll in this. Ball was fleeing the police after running a traffic stop. The reason he did was because he was a convicted felon and he had no business having a gun, now here comes the confusing part.
Witnesses are saying that he put his gun on the ground and had his hands in the air when the police shot him 25 times. The police are saying that they had to shoot him because he pointed his gun at him. Now in my opinion, the po po is lying, because even if he did pull out his gun, why shoot him 25 times. Ball has a troubled past, but he had turned his life around by holding a 3.86 GPA at Forest Park Community College. He was said to be carrying a gun for protection due to the area that he is from.
The officers are on administrative leave pending further investigation. I hope that the truth comes out, but no matter what, there was no reason to shoot him 25 times.
