There will be no charges for the cops who shot Darrien Hunt in the back six times while he fled.
Posecutors in Utah have determined that two police officers were justified in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Darrien Hunt.
The Saratoga Springs police officers — Cpl. Matt Schauerhamer and Officer Nicholas Judson – shot Hunt six times Sept. 10 after responding to two 911 calls about a man walking with a samurai-style sword along a commercial boulevard.
An autopsy revealed that Hunt, who was carrying a katana sword his family said was used for cosplay, had his back turned to the officers when all six shots were fired.
And of course, the case wouldn't be complete unless it included
a cop that had a body camera but turned it off prior to the murder.
This is outrageous. On September 10, 22-year-old Darrien Hunt was shot in the back six times and killed by police in Saratoga Springs, Utah. The officer who shot Hunt has just admitted, according to a Salt Lake Tribune article, that he was wearing a body camera at the scene of the shooting, but claims that it was turned off:
And of course, the cops also claimed
Darrien lunged at them with a sword. So yet again the official story is that a young black ma did something that they knew would get them shot by the cops. The official line seems to be that young black men are actually just suicidal based on how they supposedly act.
How many more times does this have to happen before something changes?
