		<description>On Oct.5th, 2009 in the 9th District Court of Appeals in San Francisco it was brought out that one officer swore in deposition that ASAS EYEGLASS CASE WAS IN ASAS BACK POCKET!!! You can listen to the audio of the appeal case that I have posted on Justice4Asa yourself. 

Asa never had a gun as many were first told that he did. That was a lie. 

If Asas arm went up at all I believe it was because HE WAS SHOT 16 TIMES while unarmed! Only one officer claims Asa put his right arm up and that officers credibility is already being questioned. No other office claims asa put his arm or anything up. Also ASA WAS LEFT HANDED!!! I know he would not raise his right arm and I do not believe he did. Asa was dead seated with his back to the wall facing forward and never could fully stand up in that crawl space. 
There were three officers with flashlight less than 10 feet away from Asa. You do the math. 

ASA DID NOT WANT TO DIE! There was no &quot;SUICIDE BY COP&quot; death-wish by my son. That was another hurtful lie. Asa has a son of his own and he had plenty to live for. 

Asa did have had a warrant he kept to himself. I believe it was concerning perhaps a probation violation. The SFPD did not know that or anything about Aaa before letting off at least 24 rounds of gun fire, 16 hitting Asa. He had no chance to survive.   

Asa had legal permission to be in that apartment. Barging in on people having a quiet night in their own abode and shooting someone hiding in a very dark small space in less than 12 mins from entry is the crime committed.</description>

		<description>Yeah Physal enlightening post also gave me a good belly laugh Marlon !
Nice reprieve from dry work....

Soon we will read from this genius:

* XX was shot by our Proud Police Officers because he was breathing too fast, they assumed that his adrenaline level were dangerously high, and would lead to becoming a danger to our Community, therefore they had to shoot him dead

* YY attempted to place his left hand  inside of his jacket front pocket, allegedly to show his ID as requested by our police officers, but they suspested he was going to pull out a AK47. They had no choice than shoot him dead to protect their lives and the community.

* ZZ shouted, &quot;I am only Exercizing My Constitutional Right to Observe&quot; and pointed his black cell phone at us. It appeared to be shaped as a revolver and we had to shoot him dead.

PROTECTING AND SERVING THE RICH AND CORPORATE INTEREST

		<description>I wonder if &quot;physal&quot; would&#039;ve said, &quot;He should&#039;ve opened up his door fast enough, then maybe he&#039;d still be alive.&quot; It wouldn&#039;t surprise me. Those fascist philosophies from ppl like you greatly increases my motivation to increase my workloads.</description>

		<description>Interesting title for the article and a more interesting group of people to use as examples.  I like to know more about stories so I look up the folks involved.  All the stories are of course tragic, but there are a few simple ways to keep from ending up on a list like this.  

1.Avoid criminal behavior at all times.
2.Never run from the police.
3.As I tell my students, freeze means freeze.
4.Avoid being around people who are criminals.
5.Take care of your mentally ill family and friends.

Sheila Detoy: Victim of her friends.  Ran from or towards cops, both ran from scene. One (cocaine dealer)pleads to her manslaughter after being caught, the other (convicted armed robber on parole)isn&#039;t caught for several months.  She is found to have cocaine in system.  Mom pulled her from private school because it was too upity.

Stelley: Mental problems.Drunk (3 shots of tequila in a movie theater) goes nuts after being asked to stop smoking (in a movie theater) Security calls police and says he has a weapon, girlfriend who is with him calls police and tells them not to approach him or he will fight back, and a third call that says he has a gun.  He nicks an officer with a knife and they shoot him.

Asa Sullivan: Police summonned to a supposedly unrented apartment to remove possible squatters, they quickly arrest one man the other runs and hides in the small attic and tells police he doesn&#039;t want to go back to jail ( out on parole for drug dealing), officers go up to get him and he points his eyeglass case at them and they shoot him.

Sean Bell:  Not a bay area guy.  Undercover cop in a bar hears one of his friends in an argument say &quot;go get my gun&quot;, he alerts his backup and follows the guys to their car, they tell them to stop and they take off hitting an officer. They are then shot.  The number of shots always gets thrown around, police can have 15 round magazines that can be emtied in about 5 seconds or so. A couple of officers can easilly get 80- 100 shots was the decision is made to shoot.

Gary King Jr.: Police stopped him as he fit the description of a possible homicide suspect.  Officer thought he felt a gun on pat down and Gary started fighting with him, officer then tased him without desired effect, Gary kept fighting and was shot.

Michael Cho: Not a bay area guy.  Witness had been calling about him for a while, when he was found by police he had a tire iron and would not obey police orders to put it down and then went at the officers.  He was then shot.

Anita Gay: Police had come to house for the second time that evening. She had a large knife and looked to be ready to harm two women who had come on to the porch with her, officer fired to protect them.  She was found to be on drugs.

Andrew Moppin: Running and looking like he had a weapon.  He was then shot.

Brownie Polk: Mental problems. Very strange to call a police murder in my opinion.  Many people calling to say they were threatened by a man with a hatchet outside a liquor store.  Refused to put it down and went at bystanders and officers. He was shot.

Oscar Grant: Not obeying police orders, not handcuffed yet, and had his hands under his body near his pants, he was not yet fully in custody and had not been patted down.  They don&#039;t know what you have down there. 

In some of these and many others I feel that the baggy pants issue is contributing to some shootings.  The trying to run and hold you pants up is the same as reaching for your waistband, which is wear you would keep a gun or other weapon.

The word &quot;murder&quot; is thrown around alot and it does have a distinct meaning, please be careful with it.

Lets work on educating people on the 5 points above instead.</description>
