Willard Scott who was killed by a North Carolina state trooper earlier this year was shot in the back and died after massive blood loss, according to an autopsy.

So, once again a black man was killed the police officer and once again this black man was shot in the back. He was murdered in cold blood, shot in the back. Apparently it was not a self defense. 

The NAACP described the autopsy as “confirming our worst fears” and said the family was urging a thorough investigation and further training for troopers on de-escalating conflicts.

Moreover, we demand justice for Willard Scott and his family. Cops need to be held accountable for their actions. There are so many ways to de-escalate the conflict, yet they always choose to shoot .
