Police Continue Murdering Unarmed Black People

The death of George Floyd was one of many murders committed by white police officers against unarmed black people around the country. Many of these occur during minor traffic offenses or routine police calls, where there is no lethal threat to the officer. Here’s another case which defies credibility.  Louisiana State Police and Iberia Parish police, said Victor White III shot himself in the chest while handcuffed behind his back, as he was sitting in the rear seat of an Iberia Parish, LA police car. The events, which happened in 2014, are mind boggling.  Please note that the facts and events of the case I listed below, came from the arresting officer.

Victor White III, was a 22 year old son of a reverend. He was arrested for possession of narcotics by Iberia Parish police officer Justin Ortis six years ago.

  • The arresting officer testified that he thoroughly searched White twice. He found no weapons on him, but he did find a small amount of cocaine during that 2nd search.
  • The arresting officer transported White back to the police station.
  • The officer turned off the police car camera which points towards the rear seat.
  • Instead of stopping directly in front of the police station, the officer parked in a dark section of the parking lot, at the furthest point from the station.
  • There were no surveillance cameras at that dark, isolated location. 
  • The officer claims White refused to get out of the police car and then he heard a shot.
  • White was fatally wounded. 

Here’s the part which defies credibility. Despite being handcuffed behind his back (per the arresting officer), while sitting in the rear seat of a patrol car, the Police department claims the following. White, who is LEFT handed, miraculously found a gun and shot himself in the right / front side of his chest. What? 

  • After he was thoroughly searched twice, per the arresting officer, where did the weapon come from? 
  • Forget the question of why a 22 year old would want to commit suicide, how could a left handed man handcuffed behind his back, shoot himself in the right / front chest?  
  • The police car was equipped with a camera which points towards the rear seat. The officer turned off that camera. Why?
  • Why didn’t the arresting officer park directly in front of the police station? Why did he park in a dark, isolated section of the parking lot where there were no cameras? 

The coroner incredibly ruled his death was a suicide, so the officer was never charged.
