His dad only killed people who are bad and needed to die.
Terrick shot an innocent prof dead.

Did power release Any episode today?

A former Minnesota police officer has tearfully recounted the "chaotic" moment she shot and killed a black motorist in April.
Kim Potter, 49, claims she mistakenly drew her gun instead of her Taser and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright.
She now faces two manslaughter charges for his death. Her defence team claims he was resisting arrest.
In court, Ms Potter testified that she saw "a look of fear" on the face of a fellow officer during the scuffle.
The shooting on 11 April 2021 caused several days of demonstrations.
It happened as another Minnesota police officer, Derek Chauvin, was standing trial for the murder of George Floyd.
Footage of the incident shown in court last week shows Ms Potter repeatedly yelling "Taser" before firing a single shot from her pistol. She is later seen sitting on the pavement in tears.
Testifying in her own defence for the first time on Friday, Ms Potter said that she was standing near the vehicle as Mr Wright and another officer, Mychal Johnson, struggled during the attempted arrest.
How can you mistake a gun for a Taser?
Four facts that help explain anger at US policing
"He [Mr Johnson] had a look of fear on his face. It's something I've never seen before," a visibly upset Ms Potter said. "It just went chaotic."
"I remember yelling 'Taser, Taser, Taser', and nothing happened. Then he told me I shot him," she added, breaking down in tears.
She added that she has largely lost her memory of what happened in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
Ms Potter resigned from the police force two days after the incident. In court, she said that "she did not want anything bad to happen to the city" following the shooting, which had received widespread attention.
Additionally, Ms Potter said that she had been trained on Tasers since 2002, and had drawn the weapon for "de-escalation" multiple times in her career, but never fired it.
Similarly, she said she had never fired a pistol in her 26-year-long career.
Ms Potter said she was "very distraught" after the shooting.
'One of those kids everybody looked up to'
"I just shot somebody. I've never done that," she said, again crying. "I'm so sorry it happened. I'm sorry."
The defence rested its case on Friday afternoon after two days of testimony in which they called eight witnesses, including Ms Potter.
Closing arguments are scheduled to begin on Monday.
On Thursday, jurors heard from former Brooklyn Center police chief Tim Gannon, who called Ms Potter "a fine officer".
In his testimony, Mr Gannon said that upon reviewing the footage in the aftermath of the incident, he saw "no violation" of "policy, procedure and law".
Ms Potter's attorneys have argued that the use of force - including deadly force - was justified, claiming that Mr Wright endangered the officers in an attempt to flee from the arrest.
In his testimony, Mr Gannon said that his own experiences being dragged by a car during an arrest left him with a feeling of "sheer terror" and "simply trying to survive".
Another defence witness, use-of-force expert and former Springfield, Missouri assistant police chief Stephen Ijames, said he believed that the officers were legally bound to attempt to arrest Mr Wright as a result of an outstanding warrant for a weapons violation.
In his remarks, Mr Ijames added that officers had to operate under the assumption that Mr Wright "very likely could have a gun".


He also said that deadly force is warranted in instances in which a police officer is partially inside a car that is attempting to flee. During the incident that led to Mr Wright's death, two officers were attempting to remove him from the vehicle when the shooting took place.
Mr Ijames' testimony stood in stark contrast to use-of-force expert Seth Stoughton, who told the jury that even the use of a Taser would have been "unreasonable" during the incident.
"[A police officer] would not have concluded that there was an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm, and thus the use of force was excessive," he said.
Over several days of testimony, prosecutors alleged that Ms Potter should have known the difference between her gun and a Taser. Assistant Minnesota Attorney General Erin Eldridge said the case was about "recklessness and negligence".
Earlier this week, jurors also heard from Mr Wright's father Arbuey, who said Daunte was loved and missed by his family.
Under Minnesota state law, a person can be found guilty of second-degree manslaughter if it is proven that they demonstrated negligence by creating unreasonable risk and "consciously take chances of causing death or great bodily harm" to another person.

How can someone conceive the Idea of nominating JORGINHO for Ballon D'or.
It's a Huge SIN to have him compete such with the likes of MESSI.
I'm a Chelsea Fan but I don't support Rubbish.
IF a Chelsea Fan can convincingly nominate JORGINHO for Ballon D'or ahead of Messi, Lewandowski and CR7 then Rapture is imminent.
The we should apologize to Samuel Eto'o, Thierry Henry and Ruud Van Nielsteroy

jorginho played through back pain today.

DubaiLandLord1:
I prefer Wike.

He is trying in terms of infrastructure, and I enjoyed the way he dealt with miscreants that wanna ruin the peaceful atmosphere of Rivers State.

hmm. in terms of infrastructure, amaechi is miles ahead.
the only part think Wike beats amaechi is the ability not to compromise. yeah Wike would hardly bow to public pressure or godfathers if they are not making sense. amaechi is difficult to control but Wike is more difficult.
overall I'll choose amaechi cos he's more matured and knows how to grind out result.

Good morning Nairalanders, I will keep it simple and precise, so I am a military personnel in my 200 level Pharmacy Department in a Nigerian University but recently I was drafted to the north east. Which means all my efforts and money spent in school will be gone at the cost of serving Nigeria. Though I have no other financial support except the salary from the military which is why Quitting the military will be hard.
Your advice is greatly needed and please keep your comments respectful and mature thanks.

Mynd 44,
lalasticlala,
0AM. Please take this post to front page.

defer the semester. talk to the school board and identify as a security personally. you can't stay more than 2years in North East. .
usually 6months to a year. but if your fully posted there, my brother just go find new school..

LesbianBoy:
Chelsea has never been good at fighting back. Apart from the Chelsea side that was coached by Carlo anchelloti who were free scoring.

Thats the disadvantage of being a defensive side

Conte Chelsea was a genius in fighting back.

Just googled it. There's was a medical emergency. A fan suffered heart attack.

Dear Nlanders!

I am currently running three jobs together here in Ogun State with one of the jobs ending this December of not extended. The three jobs gives me roughly 90k/per month without other benefits.
early this month I attended an interview with a popular NGO online the outcome of which I just got notified today 30th November, 2021 to resume work on December 2nd, 2021 with 100k pay. This job is based in Niger state capital. They need me to accept the offer by replying affirmative o the notification mail before sending my contract letter.
I am in dilemma here. Hence your good advice is needed. Please note that I am still in Ogun at the moment. Thank you.

since the job is in minna, I'll advice you go for the minna job.
Minna is safe, it'll take miracles for any criminal elements to invade minna where abdulsalam and ibb stays.
