    Good the suspect deserved to get shot! To the suspect that was shot, you are not the following:
    An innocent victim
    A man looking out for his community
    A robin hood
    A victim of police brutality
    A decent citizen to society

    To the suspect’s family, spare the public of showing us your relative’s eight grade graduation or choir boy picture!
