Sheriff Demings is right to investigate fatal shooting further

On Thursday, our justice system rendered a verdict.

A grand jury absolved nine deputy sheriffs who fired 137 rounds at a car thief who deputies said was trying to run them over.

The jurors spoke. And that should be respected.

But Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings has vowed to do more of an investigation. And that's good too — because there are still many unanswered questions.

1. All you need to know...

Orlando Florida.

This man was shot at 137 times, 22 shots hit him.



And the nine officers who shot at him claim that THIS vehicle was used to "ram" them in their police cruisers.



Literally, what is wrong with this picture?

Oh, yeah, the video from the cop dashboard cameras went missing in the investigation.

2. We certainly need help in Central Florida.

Something here just ain't right. What scares the living beejesus out of me is how easy it is for them to dehumanize people here. And I'm talking about the legal authorities and community leaders. Once they decide that you're not worthy, it's like you lose any rights as an American citizen.
