the cops have no duty to save you and may well kill you;

Robbins, IL — Early on a Sunday morning back in November 2018, a tragedy took place in Illinois after a hero security guard stopped what was quickly becoming a deadly mass shooting. Instead of being honored for his heroism, he would be shot by police moments later. Jemel Roberson, 26, was working security at Manny’s Blue Room when his heroism got him killed. Now, two years after the Roberson’s tragedy has fallen out of the news cycle, police announced that the cop who killed him, will not face charges.

“After an extensive and thorough review of the police-involved shooting resulting in the 2018 death of Jemel Roberson, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO) has concluded that the totality of the evidence is insufficient to support criminal charges against Midlothian Police Officer Ian Covey,” the news release from the attorney’s office states.

Beatrice Roberson, Jemel Roberson’s mother, said she was “devastated” by the decision and that State’s Attorney Kim Foxx let her family down by not bringing charges against Covey.

“I will not stop fighting for Jemel as long as I live,” she said at a news conference. “As long as I live, I will be trying to get justice that he deserves. My family and I will never be able to put this behind us.”

This decision comes amid mass protests across the country over cops killing people. While many of those people were killed while committing crimes, Roberson was not only innocent but he was also a hero.

“I am acutely aware in this age of civil unrest that police-involved shootings are viewed under a microscope, as they very well should be,” Foxx said in a statement. “The death of Jemel Roberson is tragically heartbreaking, and while it might feel to some people like justice was not served here, I have both an ethical and legal obligation to make charging decisions based on the law and the evidence.”.......read more........
