<quoted text>these facts are true its a matter of public record look it up...also if you do your own investigation you will find richard may was also being sued in a class action suit by a east palo alto resident for making a false report in a high speed chase were he accused the person for being the suspect when the police recordings were released richard may stated he did not see the suspect its all on tape...hes a liar and i believe alverez was shot first then shot back in self-defence...these are the facts i new richard may and he was not a outstanding officer more like a loose cannon am not saying he deserved to die but every action has a reaction .

Trust me when I say that everything I said is true, I have no reason to make this up since I don't know May or Alverez personally.

<quoted text> it was all self defense may shot him first, just cause he is a dam police officer it dosent give him the right to use his weapon if he dosent see his life in danger.... And by Alvarez just running away does not indicate that mays life was in danger n gives him the right to shoot
