La Crosse man's brother killed by police in New Orleans
Anyone paying attention, even before Katrina, knew the New Orleans Police Department was rotten to the core. They should be disbanded.
Africa Brumfield said the officer slammed on the brakes and her uncle put his hands on the hood to show he wasn't carrying any weapons. Shantan Brumfield said he put his hands on the hood after he was hit, apparently trying to stop it.
Both agree the car sped up, hit him again, and he jumped onto the hood.
Shantan Brumfield said he reached up toward the glass, as if trying to get the car to stop and let him down. Africa Brumfield said he had reached down and pulled out a pair of shears which she had given him earlier that day, as the only weapon they had to protect the children.
That was when he was shot. Then, both said, the car left, over Brumfield's body rather than around it.
