Shooting victim’s family wants answers [VA]

Shooting victim’s family wants answers
July 6, 2008 - wsls.com

Randolph Neal Seamster’s family wants answers.

Seamster, 22, of Pelham, N.C., was shot and killed by a member of a Halifax, South Boston and Virginia State Police Regional Narcotic/Gang Enforcement task force, at Sheetz in South Boston, on Wednesday night, according to state police.

Seamster’s aunt, Angela Meredith, answered the phone at the family’s Pelham home Saturday and said she has been designated the family spokesperson about Seamster’s death.

Meredith said the family was originally told by a police official that Seamster was not a target in the task force’s investigation. Since then, she said, the official is no longer returning the family’s calls.

Meredith said Seamster and a female friend had stopped at Sheetz on their way to Buggs Island, near Clarksville, where he was starting a new job Thursday.

She said the family has been told Seamster purchased rolling papers and that officers saw he had marijuana.

“I understand pot is illegal, but he wasn’t a drug dealer; he had enough pot on him to roll a joint,” Meredith said. “He wasn’t a drug dealer or a gang member.”

She said three of the plain-clothed officers approached the vehicle Seamster was driving, scaring him and his companion.

“They thought they were being carjacked,” Meredith said. “He threw the car in reverse, and clipped two of the (three men who had approached). The third man shot him through the windshield.”

She said none of the officers identified themselves as they approached.

“You don’t shoot and kill an unarmed 22-year-old just because he had marijuana,” Meredith said. “He had no weapons whatsoever. All he had on him was $2.30 and enough pot for a joint.”

Sgt. Dave Cooper, of the Virginia State Police, said Saturday that the incident is still under investigation.

Asked if Seamster had any weapons on him when he was killed, Cooper said, “I can’t release that information at this time.”

Meredith admitted Seamster has had some run-ins with law enforcement before, and has been convicted of DUI, assault and possession of marijuana.

She said reports that he attempted to kill the officers are wrong, and the reports released so far have “ruined the reputation of a 22-year-old kid.”

“If you’re a plain-clothes officer and approach someone, you should have the common sense to identify yourself as an officer,” Meredith said. “They know they’ve messed up.”

Wow...

I bet the officer who fired the fatal shots is going to get paid administrative leave, and allowed back on the force within a month.

Fucking pigs. Seriously....wow.

All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."  --Max Planck

how about the guy from NYC who was shot to death for eating a pear (cops said they thought he had a hand grenade)

they need to do alot more training on when it is not appropriate to kill and unarmed civilian in the police force.

I remember being in DARE when i was much younger and some of the stories they would tell you are not only ridiculous, but completely untrue. One story was that a woman was on LSD and thought her infant was a turkey so she baked it in the oven. Now I look back and think thats hilarious, but at the time I guess it scared me.

The Cato Institute has put together an interactive map of botched SWAT and paramilitary police raids, released in conjunction with the Cato policy paper "Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids," by Radley Balko.

This excellent map lists over 300 cases of the worst cases of "wrong door" botched raids conducted over a 20 year period from 1986-2006. There are reportedly over 40,000 SWAT and paramilitary police team raids conducted each year in the USA the vast majority of which are used against Non-Violent drug users.

SOLDIERS AND POLICE are supposed to be different. Soldiers are aimed at enemies from outside the country. They are trained to kill those enemies, and their supporters. In fact, "killing people and breaking things" are their main reasons for existence.

Police look inward. They’re supposed to protect their fellow citizens from criminals, and to maintain order with a minimum of force.

It’s the difference between Audie Murphy and Andy Griffith. But nowadays, police are looking, and acting, more like soldiers than cops, with bad consequences. And those who suffer the consequences are usually innocent civilians.

This plain clothes/dynamic entry stuff is bullshit and a half.

I would run too if big guys, multiple ones, came up to my car in a comanding way.  This is bullshit.


Cops are fucking cowboys, some of them, and I could definatly see this unfolding with them just strutting up and giving orders.


First thing they need to say:  Police! and then advise him whether he's under arrest.


Cops are fucked up, they need to identify themselves and stop acting like fucking hoodlums.
