    Black Off-Duty Officer Shot by Fellow Officers

    A black off-duty officer was shot by fellow officers while responding to a vehicle accident after a high-speed chase.

    This is going to be some interesting news. Source.

    An off-duty African-American police officer was shot Wednesday night by a white colleague in St. Louis, while both officers were attempting to aid first responders after a high-speed car chase ended in a crash, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department told Yahoo News.

    Authorities said the injured officer was in his home when he heard a crash. He decided to help officers who had already arrived at the scene, who had exchanged fire with the suspects. His colleagues initially ordered the unnamed officer, who was also armed, to the ground, but after recognizing him they invited him to approach them.

    “At this time, a responding officer (36-year old white male with over 8 years of service) just arriving in the area observed this and fearing for his safety and apparently not recognizing the off-duty officer, discharged a shot, striking the off-duty officer in the arm,” the police department said by email.

    The unnamed wounded officer is 38 years old and an 11-year veteran of the department. According to the officer’s lawyer, Rufus Tate Jr., the friendly fire shooting was part of a trend of police violence toward African-American men.

    “In the police report, you have so far, there is no description of threat he perceived,” Tate told Fox 2 Now. “So we have a real problem with that. But this has been a national discussion for the past two years. There is this perception that a black man is automatically feared.”

    Before the crash, St. Louis police officers were pursuing a stolen white sedan. Two suspects, Deandre T. Chaney and Cortney Smith, both 17, were arrested at the scene. A third suspect escaped.

    “Per department policy, seven officers will be placed on administrative leave,” the department said. “The Force Investigative Unit responded,” it added, and an investigation will take place.

    He didn't die? Was a cop himself?

    Will barely make headlines for a half a cycle.

    This really puts the 'he was a criminal and deserved it' crowd in a tough spot, since neither of those could even be remotely true here.

    There needs to be some transparency on how officers are trained. Multiple incidents where shots are fired based on assumption.

    Now they are shooting black cops?


    Maybe the shooter just wanted paid leave like the officers in the other shootings?

    Some armed guy that the rest of the police officers on scene evidently had no issue with.

    You need to learn the meaning of the phrases you use - 'cause it's pretty obvious this ain't what you claim. But nice click baiting!

    (see what I did there?)

    How about you read the article first, then comment, eh? It was a cop firing on a black man without going through proper procedure. Just in case facts matter to you, lol.

    Lol, I believe you are in the home-run stretch already. Usually I'm a fan of getting to the bottom of any incident before making judgments, but this was just too rich to ignore.

    Don't you worry, corrupt cops are a thing so they'll just make him into one.

    It's a bit of "don't run towards a situation involving a fire fight while you look like a civilian" and a bit of "don't shoot someone who is clearly helping" but we would have to see video to know how it went down.

    Hey look our first person to not read what happened, and make ignorant statements.

    Well truthfully most likely he is a criminal but only in the sense that pretty much everyone will have committed some sort of criminal act even if it's just something really minor that people don't know about and doesn't get enforced.

    The beautiful part is that first responders were actually aware of the off-duty cop coming to aid them, it was the new arrival that freaked out and shot him roflmao.

    Gonna be real hard for the xenophobes to spin this one in their favor.
    There are no worse scum in this world than fascists, rebels and political hypocrites.
    Donald Trump is only like Hitler because of the fact he's losing this war on all fronts.
    Apparently condemning a fascist ideology is the same as being fascist. And who the fuck are you to say I can't be fascist against fascist ideologies?
    If merit was the only dividing factor in the human race, then everyone on Earth would be pretty damn equal.

    I'm not sure you read the story. Wasn't an accident at all.
