An officer-involved shooting in Newburgh resulted in rioting after a city councilman lied.

Newburgh City Councilman Omari Shakur posted a video on Facebook right after the incident that said “an unarmed black man” had been shot and killed by police, Mid Hudson News reported. Shakur referred to the officers as “pigs” and said they are “killers.”
 The City of Newburgh released bodycam images Saturday from an officer-involved shooting after a city councilman incited rioting by claiming the suspect was unarmed.

“Normally in an investigation of this type of incident we would not be releasing images this early in the investigation,” District Attorney David Hoovler said, according to Record Online. “However, to allay community concerns, which quite frankly have been stoked by misinformation coming from a city official, we are releasing these images showing the armed man discharging his gun.”

The images clearly show that the suspect had a pistol in his hand.

  3. The likes of a Shakur should never have been allowed to run for
    any office in this country; doing so is an insult and brings
    shame to the sanctity of this once great country. I remember when. Reminds me of the muslim, Kuhn, in London, another
    embarrassment and shameful depiction of jolly old England.
    I watch the series, The Saint, and see the real England all
    around. Today's plight is a travesty of morality & nationality.
