Just after the gruesome murder of the Ferguson boy- Mike Brown, another white cop is unto a black man. And I'm asking are they simply hating on blacks??
A Florida police officer is trying to justify firing his gun at an unarmed black father as he tried to explain that he was speeding home because his 6-year-old daughter was in the car having an asthma attack.
According to Raw Story
Florida sheriff’s deputy averted a gunshot at the last second Tuesday to avoid wounding a man he realized was not armed.

Florida sheriff’s deputy averted a gunshot at the last second Tuesday to avoid wounding a man he realized was not armed.
Officer J.C. Garcia mistakenly believed a driver who led him on a brief pursuit was armed, so he drew and fired his weapon about 9:15 p.m., investigators said.
But the Jacksonville sheriff’s officer managed to wave his gun off immediately upon determining the driver, 29-year-old Brian Dennison, was not actually holding a weapon.
Garcia began following the green Ford Focus driven by Dennison after spotting the car speed through a parking lot to avoid a traffic signal. The officer said the car had expired tags, and he said Dennison drove away from an automatic teller machine as he approached from behind.
Garcia turned on his lights after the driver ran a stop sign, but the officer said Dennison did not stop and nearly caused a crash after driving the wrong way into a traffic lane.
Dennison pulled into an apartment complex and got out of his vehicle, and Garcia initially thought he spotted a weapon and fired his own.
Dennison was not injured, and he explained to the five-year veteran he had been rushing home to get an inhaler after his 6-year-old daughter suffered an asthma attack. The girl was frightened by the gunshot, her mother said.
“She just thought that they were going to shoot her, and she was afraid for her dad,” said Nacoya Ransom.
She said Dennison held his hands out the car window after stopping to show the officer he was unarmed.
