Joe McKnight

I'm no attorney, but how does this happen? Law enforcement can't hold him or charge him with something when it is known there were no weapons in McKnight's car.

Considering the racial make up of the NOPD, I doubt this is about him being white.

Some "witnesses" say Gasser pulled McKnight out of his car,
shot him and then stood over him and shot again.
But, the three spent cartridges were found inside Gasser's car.
Looks like more facts need to come out.
There may be video from the Shell station.

Don't think the protests will wait for those facts, though.

I am hoping to hear opinions from an attorney, as even if McKnight had a gun, I would think there would be some charge brought against him in order to keep him off the streets. If he did this once, can he do it again? I'm shocked by his family and friends wondering how he could have done this. The articles I read described Gasser as a loner and living with his father. Hmmm, 54 and a loner and living with his father sure seems to be a sure sign of potential mental instability. Just my uninformed opinion. Just crazy if you ask me that he is out free until they "investigate further".

Just ask yourself the question what would have happened if Gasser had been shot and killed and killed by McKnight?

Just a wild guess, but no way in the Hell the black guy (McKnight) is out walking the streets at this point! Typical double and racist standard that just gets worse and worse. Pitiful.

yeah this is similar to the ex Saint Will Smith. But his shooter is still in jail.

And I believe Will Smith's shooter stayed in jail the entire time while the investigation was taking place that ultimately led to the indictment. I'm not understanding this McKnight incident and why the shooter was released.

Will Smith was shot in the back how many times, 12, 13 times, Will Smith's shooter was a convicted felon, what about the other 450+ folks that have been shot In New Orleans this year, any commits about them.

What does this have to do with NOPD? This did not happen in New Orleans.

NOPD has nothing do to with this, it was in Terrytown.
