2 suits over fatal Chicago police shootings being settled for about $3M each
Let's meet these dindus whose deaths are worth millions to their families.
First, Darius Pinex.
Clarly, the family should be rewarded for raising such an upstanding young gentleman.
Who is the next posthumous winner of the ghetto lottery? Meet Cedrick/Frederick Chatman.
So a carjacker too dumb to drop a dark object (black iPhone case as it turned out, but police had no way of knowing it) gets shot and his family become millionaires?
Who are these nincompoops in the Chicago government working for? Families of thugs or the hard working taxpayers of Chicago? Apparently the former. And is any of this money going to be used as restitution for these thugs' victims?
Let's meet these dindus whose deaths are worth millions to their families.
First, Darius Pinex.
A clear case of being a dindu, according to this family.NBC Chicago said:According to police, once the vehicle was stopped, officers ordered Pinex and a passenger out of the car. The passenger opened his door and Pinex put the car in reverse striking and dragging an officer.
Pinex then put the car into drive in an attempt to strike another officer, but hit a light pole instead, police said. The officer said he feared for his life, fired his weapon and shot Pinex, who later died.
[...]
Pinex had more than two dozen previous arrests on his record, including drug possession, burglary and resisting arrest. His most recent conviction came last month, when he was given a conditional discharge for resisting arrest, the Chicago Tribune reported.
"No problems" except a lengthy criminal history and he also injured a police officer before getting shot."They just shot him down like he was nothing. He was a human being and he had people that loved him, people that still do love him," said Gloria Johnson, Pinex's grandmother. "He didn't deserve to die the way he did, and I just want to know why they shot my grandson down the way they did."[..]Johnson insisted that her grandson was a good person who "didn't give anyone any problems."
Police Shoot Driver After Officer Allegedly DraggedThe officer that was dragged by the car was taken to an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Clarly, the family should be rewarded for raising such an upstanding young gentleman.

Teen carjacking suspect fatally shot by cops identifiedChicago Tribune said:A 17-year-old boy who ran from South Chicago District officers after being stopped on suspicion of carjacking was fatally shot Monday as he fled the stolen car when officers saw he had a "dark object" in his hand, police said. [...]Less than a minute later, however, a police radio broadcast alerted the officers to the Charger having been stolen not long before in an armed carjacking, Camden said.
The officers realized "That’s the car!" and sped on to where the Charger was stopped in traffic, with vehicles in front and behind, Camden said. The officers got out of the car, one on each side, and told the driver they were police.
The driver raised his left hand but appeared to be reaching for something in the passenger seat, then jumped out and ran, Camden said.
