FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Texarkana, Texas – In what has become an all too common occurrence, a mentally ill man, Dennis Grigsby, 35, was killed by Texarkana police after responding to a burglary call.
Officer Brent Lawing responded to a 9-1-1 call about a burglary shortly after 2:00 a.m. and found Grigsby in a “dimly lit” garage on the property.
Police allege that Grigsby was holding a “metal object,” and approached the officer “aggressively.” The officer claims that he commanded Grigsby to stop, but Grigsby ignored his commands, forcing the officer to fire one shot into his chest, killing him.
The Grigsby family lives across the street from where the burglary call and killing took place.
The mother of Grigsby, Evelyn Grigsby, went on record that her son suffered from “mental illness,” according to News West 9.
She went on to say,
“They just told me that they shot him in his chest. They said they couldn’t tell me anything else. I’m just sick. I just can’t believe this,” adding, “My son wouldn’t hurt nobody, he ain’t had no guns or nothing.”
Grigsby’s stepfather, R. Robinson, added that Grigsby,
“Didn’t pose a danger to nobody… he just wanted help and we couldn’t help him.”
Police allege that the officer feared for his safety stating, “It appeared the suspect was holding an item, with the bowl of the spoon in his palm and the shank of the spoon coming out from the bottom of his hand like someone would hold a knife,” according to Sergeant Aaron Brower with the Texarkana, Texas Police Department.
Judging by the number of recent cases in the news where police end up killing mentally ill people, it seems that officers have little training or understanding of how to deal with people mental illness.
Just last month we reported on a case where a mom called the cops to take her son to a mental health facility, police responded and shortly after arriving on scene shot and killed her son.
Then there was the recent case of a Utah man that called a suicide prevention hotline for help, police responded with a SWAT team, eventually killing the man.
These cases, in addition to the tragic case of Kelly Thomas, who begged for his life as he was beat to death by officers, highlight how inept, or possibly callous, police are in dealing with those suffering from mental illness.
Thankfully people are beginning to wake up to the harsh reality of an out of control law enforcement apparatus that is rarely held accountable for their actions under the color of law.
By sharing stories like this, as tragic as they are, people can begin to take back control of our system, and hold those that would abuse the public trust, accountable for their actions.
Contrary to the belief of some in law enforcement, a badge does not grant a license to kill. Americans will no longer stand idly by and allow the victimization of our communities at the hands of those entrusted to enforce the law.
Officer Lawing has been placed on administrative leave, while Texas Rangers are investigating the case.

Hey that spoon could have been sharpened and poisoned…

If they’re that afraid…they shouldn’t be cops! DUH! So sick of these cowards just killing people because they’re too cowardly for the job they’re paid to do!

Taser; pepper spray? what happen to that; it is a better option;
Miriam Israel:

Taser can be lethal for some ppl, (the heart, and other factors unknown at the time of apprehension) but pepper spray for sure before shooting would be better
Daniel Rose:
December 17, 2014 at 5:08 PM
Miriam Israel Tasers are still much less lethal than bullets. He was holding a spoon!
Kevin G Herbert:
December 17, 2014 at 5:09 PM
Miriam Israel there both lethal for anyone but the risk of dying and being train properly is the factor that make them non lethal come back when you got something better to defend your cops with. a teaser to the leg or lower butt; that is the way I was trained and I am very accurate with it. when you Taser to the head or chest then its lethal especially when you do not want to stop jolting the person with the prongs. I Taser and spray oc in Iraq no deaths on my watch.
Miriam Israel:
December 17, 2014 at 5:11 PM
Daniel Rose This is very true,and you are right— but some kid died (in another case) as a result of using a taser, so maybe that could be next result following the pepper spray, just maybe
Daniel Rose:

Miriam Israel Whatever happened to putting someone in a wrist or armlock then taking them down if they cant talk them down? Do they shoot the patients at mental hospitals when they get out of line?
Miriam Israel:
December 17, 2014 at 5:17 PM
Kevin G Herbert I’m just trying to find a good/better way around it all, and feeling defeated by all this death 🙁
Miriam Israel:
December 17, 2014 at 5:20 PM
Daniel Rose They are not using any of that — It’s all just sad really 🙁
Miriam Israel:
December 17, 2014 at 5:23 PM
I agree with you Daniel Rose , and Kevin G. Herbert…I’m just overwhelmed with it all.
Kevin G Herbert:

yes a child died did the results test for a satiation, child was hit in the head; cop did not want to run after the child. then child head hit the pavement. and it was a female, I have accesses to a lot of information I have help with training and yes I have Taser children around 12 one had a saber and was welding it lol. but that male child is alive cause he got it in the leg. not head or chest plate near his heart. and I got a award for it because I saved a life.
Miriam Israel:
December 17, 2014 at 5:31 PM
Kevin G Herbert No!!! not that one I was not talking about that one
Kevin G Herbert:
December 17, 2014 at 5:31 PM
there is a video of NY police that arrested a 12yo and it taking 5 of them to subdued this kid, so one cop walks up and starts to punch him in the kidney. why? It takes two US 1st Battalion 8th Marines to subdued two 21 year old males and under 2 second. It not training because cop train more then we do, we get our training in blocks that mean 6mo apart they train everyday before shift and weekly after shift. answer that one and I will stop posting.

you would be better suited reading the article. It was 2 am you idiot. That is not broad daylight.
Miriam Israel:
December 17, 2014 at 5:43 PM
Kevin G Herbert Well I did not understand what you just posted completely, but I will try and assume to know what you are trying to say (and by the way I don’t want you to stop posting — you are free to voice your opinion whether I agree or not) but first let me ask you—are you pro or against brutality?
Kevin G Herbert:

Miriam Israel well brian hill called me an idiot; so I am done; hey brian when you grow up join the military so you can understand what its like to be a real patriot, and fly that Eagle and raise my Flag. To get shot in the vest or hit by an RPG. or witness the guy you just shared a MRE with get his head taken off buy a ak-47. ride home with your best friends body and watch his mother and father break down in front of you. go visit him he is buried in Columbia Tennessee and call him an idiot. and I did read the article lol. he laid there till 11am and no one called an ambulance when he first got shot. that makes the difference of living and bleeding out. render aid to your victims, first law of weapons not military or police it is a law from the 1800’s civil war. and the Geneva conventions of 1949 and rule 110 of the red cross and article 26 of the UN convention. or and the decoration of 1862 volume 1.

Oh My God. Now they fear for their life because someone is wielding… a spoon. A fucking spoon. Nothing but Thugs In Blue, out of control murderous gang members.

The mentally ill are the most vulnerable people in the American society. Whenever the police gets a call the ambulance and some type of case worker should follow them. They are just too incompetent to do their job alone! Sad!

The part of the spoon that extends from the bowl as far as I know is called the handle not the “shank.”

Why are we paying for these pitiful, chubby chichen shit wimps to play at police work?They would be no use to any of us in a real home invasion and would wet themselves at the sight of a serving fork. Get some real men and train them to work protecting the public, not their own scariedy pants little boys club.

Soo…we’re all aware of this shit going on, all the time. There have been protests, grand juries, T-shirts made, and countless groups speaking out/recording/and writing about all of this injustice from our justice department…why are we not seeing ANY results? Why do they just keep killing us? Perhaps it’s all going the way it was designed. Maybe the goal is to make us realize we have no rights, no freedom, and no safety- anywhere in America. We talk about change, we work for change, and they work twice as hard, with weapons and excuses, to convince us our efforts are futile. Americans are at war, and no one in power gives a shit. At this point, we should all expect to be killed, any day, for any reason, by cops.

I don’t understand how you can fear for your life,against someone with a damn spoon. And,you have a taser,pepper spray,baton,flashlights. The bully with the advantage is fearful. The fact that it’s protocol to automatically use that statement as justification for killing unarmed or minimally armed (spoons,wallets,cell phones) citizens like dogs in the street is despicable….Tired of this shit…..
Mike Robbins:

We have the same right as they do to defend ourselves if we feel threatened and are in fear for our life, if they keep this up we will all feel threatened and be in fear for our life anytime an officer tries to interact with us! thereby giving us the right to defend ourselves!

It’s disgusting to see the police seargent refer to victim as a “suspect” even though it’s clear the police instigated the incident and are thus

welcome to the USA> a nation policed by Stormtroopers and citizens willing to look the other way. “Never Again”….thats a laugh.

got a problem? calll the SS. all these shooting were instigated by someone calling the SS to come “solve” the problem. no one mentions that. way to go good citizens.

I think it’s way past time to disarm the police. They have shown they are totally irresponsible when it comes to using firearms.

Unless you are Captain Crunch, Count Chocula, or the Trix bunny you shouldn’t be afraid of a spoon.
