Get sick? Get dead!
UPDATE: Sources pointed out to TLR that the woman originally called for an ambulance, but police arrived instead.
GEORGIA – Lamar Roberson is dead after his girlfriend called the police to help her when he began to suffer negative affects of too much diabetes medication. Officers arrived and killed Roberson when they claim they saw him threatening them with ‘two weapons’ raised ‘in a threatening manner’.
Roberson’s girlfriend and mother witnessed the shooting and they tell a different story.
“He didn’t have nothing in his hands at any time or period at all before they came, any time while they were here, anything,” said Alicia Herron, Roberson’s girlfriend. “They just came in and shot him. He didn’t say nothing, the police didn’t say nothing, anything, it was like a silent movie. You couldn’t hear anything, all you could hear were the gun shots go off and I seen them going into his body and he just fell down.”
Police aren’t talking about what sort of weapons Roberson may have been using, but the Mayor Clarence Billups has said that Roberson was armed with knives. Neither of the knives that were actually sharp enough to be used were being admitted into evidence. Alicia Herron believes the officers were startled due to Roberson’s diabetes symptoms, convulsing in a manner that knocked over a television and might have startled the officers.
The officers involved have been placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
