Those Auburn cops are so corrupt. They pulled me over for cause my hound dog was loose in my pickup truck bed. I told em he was a good boy and only got hurt that one time. My grandma bailed me out and then we each peed on their squad cars leaving the jail. LOL!!
We spoke with the passenger of the motorcycle. She has a total opposite story. Apparently, when the apd pulled up to them they were already stopped, the squad had no lights or sirens on. They proceeded to get out of their squad guns drawn. She swears that the driver did not move a muscle when they shot him. After he was laying there bleeding out they searched him and found no gun. They pulled a lighter out of his pocket and threw it on the ground. They then while waiting 1/2 HR until the ems got there, give each other a fist bump. Where are all the protesters now? #WHITELIVESMATTERTOO
