[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Don't discount it ... [b]'When is deadly use of force justifiable?'[/b] Under those conditions, Timothy Thomas' death sparked the dry timber of the city's race relations. Thomas was wanted on 14 misdemeanor warrants: three for driving with an expired license, four for seat belt violations, five for driving without a driver's license and two for obstruction of official business. In an interview with CNN, Mfume said the warrants did not excuse the shooting. "This is a young man who didn't have a record. He had warrants on him for not wearing a seat belt and things of that nature," he said. "And the question becomes: When is the deadly use of force justifiable?" Streicher said the department concluded its own investigation Wednesday but declined to reveal its conclusions. He said a police videotape subpoenaed by the Hamilton County prosecutor showed the officer's approach of the suspect and the shooting. "So we have a pretty good understanding of what actually did occur," he said, but would not say if Thomas made any threatening gesture toward the officer. But, he said, the number of African-American deaths at the hands of his officers is "of great concern to us as an agency." "It's also a great concern to the community here," he said. [/QB][/QUOTE]
