First of all, the cop executing the guy could happen to anyone, so I am against that. The cops being all quiet yesterday also tells you something.
But then read the ILLEGALS BACKGROUND and the DANGER to PUBLIC SAFETY this guy was because of his ILLEGALITY!!!!
Then read how he TREATED his WOMAN, and then the honor showered upon him.
That's the UNBIASED, pro-illegal immigration Boston Globe for you, folks.
It's almost as if they WANT to PROVOKE reactions so they can holler racism, all the while ignoring the impact this globalist-serving problem causes.
Why wouldn't they? They are in the business of AGENDA-PUSHING, so why would they really want to spotlight those problems?
"Police killing of immigrant challenged; Friend speaks out; DA investigating" by John R. Ellement and Michael Levenson, Globe Staff | July 29, 2008
YARMOUTH - As outraged family members denounced the use of deadly force and as fear reverberated through Cape Cod's Brazilian community, investigators reviewed yesterday the frantic moments of an early-morning traffic stop, trying to determine whether a Yarmouth police officer was justified in killing an undocumented house painter from Brazil.
Andre L. Martins, 25, was killed by a single gunshot to the heart and lungs after fleeing Officer Christopher Van Ness at about 1 a.m. Sunday, according to Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael D. O'Keefe. Van Ness opened fire after Martins, his car apparently boxed in on a neighborhood lawn, rammed the cruiser in an attempt to flee, O'Keefe said.
With new details yesterday came even more questions, and authorities said they needed time to untangle the events and cautioned against quick judgments.
Camila Campos, Martins's girlfriend and the mother of his 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son, was in the passenger seat at the time of the shooting and was not harmed, O'Keefe said.
Campos, 25, said she avoided being shot by ducking in the car. She told the Brazilian newspaper Folha Online yesterday: "The police officer who blocked the street got out of the car, appeared in the open window, and started to shoot." He fired three times, she said.
"He didn't have any time to defend himself," she told Folha Online. "The officer who shot at Andre acted wrongly. He should have shot at the tires."
I do agree there.
Killing should always be a last resort, reserved for torturing traitors who lie us into wars and loot the nation.
Last night at her home in Yarmouth, Campos held up the couple's 2-year-old boy and said, "See what they took away. My son didn't deserve to have his father taken away."
Van Ness, 34, a three-year veteran of the Police Department who previously served in the Harwich Police Department, was placed on administrative leave with pay yesterday. O'Keefe said Van Ness was an "exemplary officer" who was upset about the tragedy.
Martins's father, Luiz Carlos de Castro Martins, a reserve police officer in Brazil, told Folha that his son may have been afraid to stop because he was not in the United States legally.
"They have to think before they act, to be more cautious," de Castro Martins said. "I know that the situation is difficult, but you can't simply shoot at someone."
One of Martins's friends, Alex Kovalski, said he had talked to Martins Friday after the Yarmouth man was arrested by Barnstable police on charges of driving without a license and driving to endanger. According to court records, officers on bicycles had spotted Martins driving recklessly through heavy traffic and causing several cars to brake suddenly.
Kovalski said Martins was terrified of being arrested again and deported to Brazil.
"He was so afraid," he said. "He was so scared of getting taken away."
See them pushing the sympathy angle all the same, readers?
I agree he didn't deserve to be killed, but he was far from a saint (read on).
Registry records show that Martins was not licensed to drive in Massachusetts. His application was denied in 2005 because he had problems with his driving record in New York, including driving while uninsured and failing to report for a hearing.
Barnstable court records show that Martins had three criminal cases scheduled to go to court next month. In July 2007, he was charged with threatening to commit murder, operating a motor vehicle without a license, and leaving the scene of an auto accident.
Those charges were filed after police said Martins rammed Campos's car in a bank parking lot and drove off. At the time, Campos told police that Martins had recently broken off their relationship and called her on her cellphone, threatening to kill her.
"I know I was wrong," Martins later told Yarmouth police, according to court records. "I shouldn't have done it. I just got so mad when I saw my girlfriend in the mall with another guy, I hit her car. I shouldn't have hit it, but I was so mad, I just hit it hard."
Yeah, but if you mention the CRIME and VIOLENCE associated with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS the damn Zionist, agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM brands you a racist!!!
Yup, he was just so mad at his girlfriend he had to PLOW HIS CAR INTO HERS because of JEALOUSY!!!!
But he was only here trying to put food on his family's table!!!!
In June, Yarmouth police said they stopped Martins for running a red light. During the stop, Martins gave the officer a Brazilian driver's license and was arrested on a charge of operating with a suspended license.
Sunday's chase began when Van Ness saw a dark car allegedly speeding from the Bayview Beach parking lot near the Yarmouth/Hyannis line. Van Ness pursued the car, catching up with Martins's black Lincoln Continental on Harbor Road, O'Keefe said.
Van Ness drove behind the Lincoln, which sped off, reaching speeds that witnesses later estimated at 80 to 90 miles per hour, O'Keefe said.
Van Ness turned on his flashing blue lights as Martins turned onto Baxter Avenue and allegedly headed toward several police cruisers parked at the end of the street that were blocking the entrance to Route 28.
He turned left into a yard, attempted to make a U-turn, and struck Van Ness's cruiser, O'Keefe said. It was not clear whether Van Ness was inside, O'Keefe added.
Yup, ALL THIS because the ILLEGAL DIDN'T WANT to STOP!!!
All this THREAT to PUBLIC SAFETY!!!!
At some point in the encounter, Van Ness got out of his cruiser and fired multiple shots, killing Martins. Paramedics found a marijuana cigarette in Martins's mouth, O'Keefe said. Police did not find any firearms in his car.
That has the STINK (pun intended) of a PLANT (pun intended again)!!
In his MOUTH?
Martins's friends described him as a doting father.
"He was a great guy, very nice and very dedicated to his kids," said Cristina Rivera, a former neighbor. "He had a dirt bike and would take his kids on rides around the yard. And when the kids had birthdays, he would throw these huge parties."
Yup, he was a great guy except for the CAR CRASHES and the JEALOUSY!!!!
Yesterday at Intercontinental, a Brazilian market in Hyannis, a flier on the door demanded justice for Martins. Campos had stopped by the store earlier, weeping and asking for help, and the owner was collecting money to send Martins's body to Brazil for burial.
Fausto da Rocha, executive director of the Brazilian Immigrant Center in Allston, said many immigrants are worried that Van Ness will not be held accountable because Martins was an illegal immigrant.
"A lot of people in the community are upset and sad for what happened because these people came to the United States trying to build a better life," da Rocha said yesterday. "Now, more and more people are going to be afraid when the police stop them, that they can be shot."
Yeah, yeah, spare me the fucking propaganda, will ya?
And THAT could happen to ANYONE!!!
Haven't you been reading my blog, da Roach?
Of course, when it comes to TRUE AMERICANS who are PROTECTING THIS NATION from GRUG-DEALING SCUM, the U.S. government would rather take the word of the MEXICAN DRUG-DEALER!!
"Court upholds agents' sentences
NEW ORLEANS - A US appeals court has refused to throw out prison sentences for two US Border Patrol agents convicted of shooting an unarmed illegal immigrant and lying about it. The Fifth US Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld most of the convictions yesterday against former agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Alonso Compean. The court vacated their convictions for tampering with an official proceeding, but refused to reverse the convictions that resulted in their sentences. Ramos and Compean were convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 11 and 12 years in prison, respectively. Both men said they shot at Osvaldo Aldrete Davila, an illegal immigrant and admitted drug smuggler, in self-defense (AP)."
Well, it wouldn't be the first time the U.S. government has sided with Mexico:
The GLOBALIST, NAU MASK is OFF the AmeriKan government and MSM!!!!
