Illinois Police Shot Unarmed Man , Killed Dog Suit Alleges

They Serve, Protect And Shoot Your Puppy

 

 

 

 ” Police in Harvey, Ill., shot a man in the back of the leg without cause, threatened to “shoot the shit out of” a witness with a camera, then shot to death a witness’s puppy, the wounded man and dog owner claim in federal lawsuits.
   Paul Manning sued the City of Harvey, its police Officer James Sinnot, and Officer O’Shea.
   In the second lawsuit, Karnischa Miller, who owned the 14-week-old puppy, sued the City of Harvey, Sinnot, and Officer Davres.
   Harvey, pop. 30,000, a far south suburb of Chicago, is 90 percent black and Latino.
   Manning claims he was walking down the street on Dec. 30, 2012, when the officers began following him in a squad car.
” Defendant officer stopped his car and told Mr. Manning, ‘Come here!’,” the complaint states.
” Mr. Manning had done nothing wrong, and, therefore, did not stop.
” Mr. Manning had no weapon or other objects in his hands.
” After a short distance of moving away from the defendant officer, Mr. Manning slipped and fell.
” As Mr. Manning tried to get up, one of the defendant officers willfully shot Mr. Manning in the back of his leg.”

Very Nice … A Titanium AR-10

“There never was any intention to sell the TI-1 (or to put titanium AR-10s into production), but people heard about it and wanted to know how much it would cost, so NEMO had to put a price on it. They looked at the $30,000 worth of Titanium in the rifle, and the dozens of tools worn out and/or broken in the process of producing it and came up with “meh – keep it under $100,000”. . . .”
