Georgia cops spend six hours soothing white suspect to give up after he shoots deputy in the head

[Coolest Ranger]

After a six hour standoff on Monday, law enforcement officials in Georgia successfully took a suspect into custody after he allegedly shot Troup County sheriff’s deputy Michael Hockett in the head.

According to WSB-TV, Hockett was performing a welfare check on Matthew Edmonson when a shotgun blast hit him in the forehead, elbow and waist.

“The deputy then retreated, at which time the individual got into a truck and began driving toward the deputy,” Troup County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Stewart Smith told WSB-TV.

Following the shooting, Edmonson barricaded himself in his home with a pistol and long rifle, The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.

So let me get this straight. If your suspect is white you take all the time you need to talk him down but if your suspect is black, you gun them down, ask questions later, wow.

When I get pulled over, I get treated with courtesy. Guess my demographic!

3. This is such a f*ed up country

and I'm sickened by so much.

[Eliot Rosewater]

6. Seems to me the disparity in how white and black are treated

in so many categories, especially this one, is not changing the way we were all told.

Probably white folks just realizing this, black folk probably knew all along.

7. I've known the disparity for a long time

and that's why I was part of the civil rights movement of the 60s and continue today.

8. Great legacy you have, proud to know you.
