Hammond was shot to death during a drug investigation outside a fast-food restaurant on July 26. Seneca Police Dept. says the officer fired in self-defense when Hammond tried to run him over with a car. A private autopsy indicates the car wasn't moving when he was shot outside of the Hardee's in South Carolina. It was supposed to be a simple drug investigation. A small amount of marijuana was found in the front passenger compartment. The real question here is why this isn't being made into a bigger deal. The only difference is that in this situation, the victim is white. I think that this issue has a deeper meaning. Lots of problems are occurring because of the unnecessary use of deadly force in simple situations. The thing we need to be worried about is if the police are actually protecting us or not, it seems like there are more and more innocent shootings every day.
