Lil update on this one.

He was "accidentally" shot in the back while cop was holstering his weapon. Cop has a pretty shady history. If he was white, this would be national news.
If you can't figure out why that is, you can't be helped. It's real simple.

The sheriff's announcement came after heated protests outside the Clinton courthouse Friday morning. Dozens of people — including Whitfield's relatives and local activists — gathered to demand transparency from the sheriff's office and to protest police brutality. "It's about time these senseless and avoidable killings stop," said Ambrose Sims, vice president of the West Feliciana branch of the NAACP. "Today there are two types of justice in America. Among white communities, law enforcement is looked upon as a protector, as a friend, as a neighbor. Conversely, in black communities … the officer is the intimidator, the oppressor, and now he's the executioner. This has to stop."

So the police shot an unarmed man?
Well to be fair, he did have two legs.

If only there were a safe, clean place for people like this... a "Whitfield Hospital," if you will.

East Feliciana Parish Sheriff Jeff Travis announced during a press conference that evidence reveals the shooting was accidental. He said the officer had unholstered his gun and fired a warning shot into the ground while chasing the suspect.
The weapon then discharged again once the two engaged in a struggle.
quote:
Sims' tactic of firing a shot into the ground was "a further attempt to get (Whitfield) to stop," Travis said.
Sims momentarily caught up to the suspect and grabbed the back of his hoodie. The two struggled, and Whitfield struck Sims' weapon while the officer was trying to reholster it.
quote:
The sheriff also announced that investigators had discovered after the shooting that Christopher Whitfield had a knife somewhere in his clothing.

The State Commission on Law Enforcement said warning shots are not illegal. It's up to each law enforcement agency to have a policy on them, but those policies are not required.
East Feliciana Parish does not have a policy on warning shots.
Public information officers with BRPD and EBRSO said they have policies in place about not firing warning shots. Officers and deputies will be disciplined if they do.
Also, the WBRZ story is titled Disturbing criminal history emerges about deputy who killed man stealing food & goes into the past issues with the cop
