Antonio Martin shooting.This is Antonio Martin ,the 18 year old young man who was shot dead yesterday Dec. 23rd by a police officer at a gas station not far from where Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri. I cannot understand these kids though,why pull out a gun at a policeman? A black kid for that matter?Its not as if these policemen need an excuse to
shoot a black man.Was he on drugs? HAS he been watching too many gangsta movies? Cos i just can't comprehend why an 18yr old black boy in America will wanna pull a gun on a police officer,with all the recent happenings.My only conclusion is the boy must have been high..its a sad waste.The Mayor of the town made it clear this was not a racist case.He said they have a black Mayor,Black police chief,and the boy clearly pulled a gun on the officer.
