“You’re gonna be fucking dead!”

Cops Shoot Black Man with His Hands Up, Nine Times

New Jersey police have released a disturbing dash cam video that shows two officers shoot a black man dead after he tried to exit the car with his hands up. 

Although the incident had occurred December of last year, the video has only recently been released. Two cops in Bridgeton are seen pulling over a black sedan. Everything seems fine and peachy at that point, with the officers Braheme Days and Roger Worley simply asking the 46-year-old driver, Leroy Tutt, for his driver’s licence. 

Tutt was told that he had failed to stop at a stop sign. Seated next to him was Jerame Reid. 

Without warning, the officers shouted at Tutt and Reid to show them their hands. Tutt’s left hand is seen sticking out of the car window. 

They were told that they would be killed if either of them moved.

Both officers drew their weapons and began to search the car. On finding a gun in the glove compartment, they told Reid not to move. Reid is heard saying “let me out,” and despite having both hands up while exiting, he was executed by the officers who had fired nine times.
Yup, just had to make sure that corpse couldn’t retaliate. Tutt was later arrested by the officers after backup arrived at the scene. The officers are currently on administrative leave. It is possible that Reid was attempting escape, and it might be conjectured that the cops might have been afraid that he would pull another gun when he exited.
He also should have just stayed in the car. However, he had his hands raised to shoulder level when he exited the vehicle, and the police were certainly in no danger. Just a week earlier, a Montana police officer was caught on his dashcam sobbing after he had killed an unarmed half white and half Mexican man, high on methamphetamine.
The jury at the coroner’s inquest found that the shooting was justified. Billings Officer Grant Morrison killed 38-year-old Richard Ramirez in April of last year, when he thought he saw Ramirez reach for a gun. The unarmed man was riding in the backseat of a red sedan. Ramirez’s family intend to file a lawsuit against Morrison and Billings Police for the racial profiling of the half-Mexican man.
