From what I've heard or read the info coming back seems to support the police officer (who received severe injuries to his face and head) and suggests the guy's buddy who gave the account about the cop shooting him without any justification is lying. Not surprising considering both of them had just been involved in a strong-armed robbery of a store not long before this all went down.

Not that any of this will matter to cookcounty or any of the other protesters. They're not concerned about what actually happened. Just what they want to have happened.

There's no point in giving the guy the benefit of the doubt. He was obviously a thug and society is better off without people like that.
