Happening live on FB. WXPI-TV on FB.

This stems from the death of the 17 year old, Antwone Rose Jr. (no relation to Pete) where he was gunned down in the line of fire by a police officer in Pittsburgh.

I had read reports that the police officer involved in the shooting had only been sworn in minutes prior to the incident. Not sure if this is actually true as anyone with a mouth, opinion or bias can basically say anything online and have it spread like wild fire.

What’s Pennsylvania law on this? They’re impeding travel and drivers could reasonably fear for their safety.

It took 4 hours to get from Pittsburgh Airport to the house because of this crap - most of it spent stopped between the Oakland exit and the Squirrel Hill tunnel.

frick them and frick their cause. Whatever they are bitching about, just assume I take the opposite stance.

He was sworn into the police department that morning about two hours prior BUT... he has been a working officer in the adjoining jurisdiction for over seven years. They are trying to make it look like he is a brand new cop that didn’t know what he was doing but that isn’t the case.

Well, there are some road closures in the Pittsburgh area at the moment on Google maps, albeit some are listed "closed until August", which I assume is construction, not protests.

Sounds like only for that department.

quote:

Sources tell KDKA political editor Jon Delano that the East Pittsburgh officer, in his 20s, has been on duty in East Pittsburgh for just three weeks and was sworn in about 90 minutes before the actual shooting. Although, he’s been an officer in the region since 2011.


But this paragraph is buried in the article titled

Sources: East Pittsburgh Officer Accused Of Killing Antwon Rose Sworn In Hours Before Fatal Shooting

There is a landslide on 30. It’s been closed for a while.

I'm really hoping Trump pardons him. He should be in the HOF.

They spelled it wrong twice?
