Why we shoot Nigerian IT guru to death – US Police
insightlinks.netDec 20, 2023 8:44 PM

The King County Police in Washington, USA, has opened upon the circumstances surrounding the extra-judicial killing of Joseph Ejeh, an IT guru.

A press statement by the Independent Force Investigation Team – the King County claimed that Ejeh, who hailed from Benue State in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, was armed and acted in a threatening manner, hence he had to be gunned down.

Entitled, “Bellevue Police Department Officer-Involved Shooting”, the statement said: “The Independent Force Investigation Team – King County (IFIT-KC) is Investigating, and officer involved shooting for the Bellevue Police Department.

“The investigation into the officer involved shooting from December 5, 2023, is still ongoing. Members of IFIT-KC are interviewing witnesses and collecting video evidence for review. Evidence was collected on the date of the incident and continues to be processed by investigators.”

On the circumstances surrounding Ejeh’s killing, the statement said: “According to the preliminary investigation, the Bellevue Police Department was dispatched to the area of the 15500 Block of Main Street around 6:35 PM on December 5, 2023, for a report of a man walking around with a knife out. Several Bellevue PD officers arrived in the area to contact the subject. Upon arrival at least one Bellevue PD Officer contacted the subject, who was reported to be a 44-year-old male. At some point the male advanced on the officer holding a knife in his hand. The officer then fired his weapon, striking the man. First AID and CPR was administered by the officers on scene and the fire department was called in. Unfortunately, the male was pronounced decease at the scene.

“The Bellevue PD Officer who fired his weapon has been placed on administrative leaving pending this investigation.

“Effective December 6, 2023, Sgt. Eric M. White will be the Public Information Officer for this IFIT-KC investigation.

“Public notifications will be released weekly until the conclusion of the investigation.”

What a bad way to end ones journey on earth? Jakpa gone sour.

Sad, rest in peace brother

This is nonsense explanation, US police officers are always triggered-happy when it comes to handling blacks or African Americans

You will hardly see them treating the whites that way

if same had happened in Nigeria, he probably will be paraded as a armed robber with one rusty pistol. Jakpa still favoured him. At least the money in his account will go to his next of kin and not a nest of killers.

This is one of the numerous results of failed system and Government. If your Government doesn't place value on you, how do you expect foreigners to do so? If Nigeria Is working, the mass exodus of our people won't be there. And of course, they may be compelled to accord us a little respect.

The idiotic police officer that fired didnt even fire his leg at least there will be minimum impact. He fired were there will be maximum impact. Thats delibrate and totally unacceptable

Hmm

You guys killed him because he is black

For a trained police officer? Are u normal? Or u just want to comment make e be like say u wise?

Please let's call a spade a spade for what it is

Why would he go overseas and stay carrying knife to attack police crew


What Nonsense

You no wise, I can bet you never handled gun at a range before, so rest.

The thought of getting harassed, jailed and possibly killed over trivial things as a young black man is why I don't see any point relocating to the US.. the black Americans there are being killed like animals by the racist US Police and some jailed unjustly by their racist justice system talk more of African migrants.

Just like George Flyod and many other blacks killed by US Police, nothing will come out of this case.

A trained police officer knows how to shoot to disarm you especially if u pose a lesser threat. U be mugu when dey claim smart but obviously u no get brain or u think it's Nigerian police that doesn't undergo rigorous training? They one corner dey type nonsense ode

The IT GURU is wrong and st*pid for pulling out a knife on a cop. That aside, I've seen white men attacking cops with Knife and they take so long to take a shot and most time don't shoot at all. For a black man, putting your hands in the pocket for just a microsecond is an automatic death sentence. It takes the average cop 0.001 second to pull the trigger on a black man

Very foolish act by the Nigerian.if u are armed, just raise your hands up, and remain one place. Simple

Racist us police officers....
There are other places to hit even if they must go lethal...
What happens to his legs

If fit Japa because of Police brutality and extra judicial killings in Nigeria and eventually meet the same fate abroad.

Wrong.
You will do the same if you were that coppa. It's about instincts.

For somebody carrying a knife, no, I don't think so. If he had a gun, then I'd be more inclined to shoot. But shoot to disable, not to kill.
It was just an unnecessary use of force.

Blacks live doesn't matter anywhere in the world even in Africa

nope i won't ,its not about instincts its about training,no even try to justify am buddy.

Nobody's justifying anything,I watch a lot of those videos on YouTube and those guys attacking cops are dangerous. I have watch a particular episode where the cops were using beanbag shots which didn't deter this machete wielding guy who almost chopped off the retreating cop's head! The cop fell to the ground and was actually saved by his colleagues who had to use lethal force to drop the assailant.

If the cops will drop a woman wielding a knife,what do you expect them to do when a man does same? That man has signed his death warrant nah!
It happens a lot in the states

Those coppas have body cameras,it's most times a life and death situation for them.

Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero "Give the crack to the
