I knew enough about police raids to know that whoever was in their line of sight was guilty until proven innocent. I thought about the cell phone I still held in my hand and dropped it to the floor. A Black woman had already been shot to death by police in this city in a similar situation.
Yes this was LaTanya Haggerty killed by a black female officer. The officer reports she had something shiny and piinted it at her and she thought it was gun. It was later found out it was a padlock and witnesses reported that LaTanya did not resist detanment, did not point anything at the officer, and did not act in a threatening way.
