Pinal County Sheriff Deputy kills Manuel Longoria while Longoria’s hands are raised in the air.
Manuel Longoria, of Mesa, led police on a 40-minute chase in Eloy, and only stopped after sheriff’s deputies crippled the stolen Toyota Corolla with a tire-popping device. Witnesses said that Longoria told police after he got out of the car, surrounded, that he wouldn’t be taken alive. Police fired Tasers and beanbags at him before he turned around.The video shows him with his hands above his head. One second later, a sheriff’s deputy fired two shots into him, killing him.Investigators found no weapon. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office said it investigated the shooting and found the officer’s use of lethal force justified.
The shooter returned to duty a week later.

I’ve noticed a trend lately for news reports on these state sanctioned murders to NOT report the
name of the state’s executioner…they are referred to as ” a deputy” or “an officer” but no name
is released. Makes it harder for justice to be served on the CORRECT thug. But I’d guess in
reality ANY thug in blue will do just as well as the ones who actually pull the trigger….they are all
complicit in the crimes their organizations commit.
