<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 .
i agree with you and I myself heard about may getting sue....

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.

Uh, no. Convicted felons forfeit the right to bear arms. In fact he said the reason he ran is that he was carrying a piece, even though he knew that would violate his parole. To bad, so sad, hope they reinstate the death penalty soon.

<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
So in your world, the perp had a gun, but didn't use it, and the cop shot him just for the halibut. Then, fearing for his life for not having done anything, said perp pulled out his gun, shot the officer who had just shot him, then stood over the officer and shot him again. Sadly, given that said officer is dead, he can't testify that the paroled perp carrying the gun and running from the law after an atercation pulled his gun first. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

Daily Horoscope for January 2

Pisces

Do not overspend on redecorating. Say as little as possible and concentrate on matters in hand. Someone you care about will be erratic and eager to pick a fight. To move that great idea, you need to talk to the big spenders. Run the idea by them and see if you cannot get a backer and a partner for your concept.
