We as America should be past the issue of what color we are, we are all in this together, whether your black white latino or asian, we all must learn to set our differences aside and understand that a youg man no matter what what color or back ground he came from, is gone this is some-one who had a family, that feels the hurt and pain of their lost, So with this being said, we need to let the legal system take it course and find justice if a crime was committed, and yes i find the scenrio of him being searched twice, and no weapon found, but yet still shooting himself in the tempe while hand-cuffed is a little hard to understand. but we need to let the legal system run it,s course before we start questioning what really happend, I will wait for the GSR, report.

THE COMMENTS POSTED ON THIS PAGE IS EXACTLY WHY THERE IS STILL A HUGE RACIAL DIVIDE AND DISTRUST AMONG THE RACES!! A 21 Y/O YOUNG MAN THAT WAS A SON, NEPHEW, COUSIN, FRIEND AND HUMAN BEING IS DECEASED. THE MAIN REASON IT HAS TO BE QUESTIONED IS BECAUSE OF THE MESSED UP, STUPID....."GONNA BE WHITE KILLING BLACK, BLACK DESERVED IT' KINDA WORLD!! GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOU ALL!! SMH!!!!! BUT STILL HOPING CARMA CATCHES UP WITH YOU AND YOURS!! FRNRB!!

Leatherneck; I don't remember anything wrong with your comment that made it "removable". I guess some don't like the truth, do they?

My lenghty comment from yesterday was removed. I guess when I spoke the truth and used the beeeeeeeeeep word and sound behind one of the sentences they didn't like it. But I guess the truth hurts. NAACP will bring up white boy white cop black MAN.

Brittney; a lot of people that carry ( legally and illegally ) put the weapon on or in the belt on their backside. Easy to get to if you are in cuffs and the law didn't find it.

Well, what I dont understand is how can he get his hands from BEHIND his back(saying he's double jointed) and shoot hisself then put his hands back behind his back after he shot hisself in the head? COME ON NOW.... USE COMMON SENSE!

Before its all said and done, the NAACP will have this turned into a "the white guys were let go by the white cops and the black guy was arrested by the white cops and was later dead." If the cops did do a search, did they do a full pat down or what? Where was the gun hidden at? Some people are flexible enough to wiggle their hands in front of them while handcuffed, but none of this makes any sense. They say witnesses can verify the officers did the two searches. You have two cops, witnesses to the arrest, yet no one noticed the guy wiggling around in the car and getting a gun out and shooting himself. The one thing missing from any reports I've read is when was the gunshot heard. There are way to many pieces of the puzzle not going together for me to come up with a theory. All I know is someone somewhere screwed up and didnt find the gun. I hope this gets answered soon and answered correctly so the man's family will know the truth.

These officers need to be on leave until this investigation is over. Simple as that, they screwed up!!!! 2 searches, cuffed and in the custody of the police and the guy dies by a gunshot to the head. Suicide or not, who knows, the police messed up and should be found responsible.

NAACP; does that mean Al and Jesse are coming to AR now? Or are they still busy making money with the Martin's?
