Video Of Unarmed Black Man Eric Harris Being Shot Surfaces (VIDEO)

Another video of a unarmed black man being shot by a white officer has surfaced. A video shows police pursuing 44-year-old Tulsa, Oklahoma man Eric Harris in their cars after he was caught illegally selling firearms to an undercover cop. Harris hopped out of the vehicle he was in and after he tried to flee on foot he was caught and pinned down by 73-year-old reserve deputy Robert Bates.

Bates seemingly meant to pull out his taser and use it on Harris but mistakenly pulled his gun and fired a shot. Bates then said “I shot him! I’m sorry!”

Harris then screams “He shot me! He shot me! Oh my god. I’m losing my breath!” Two officers appear and continue to pin Harris down after he is shot, with one officer putting his knee into the back of Harris’ head. When Harris said he was losing his breath one of the officer yelled back “F–k your breath!”

Bates reportedly isn’t a active member of the police force and volunteers his time as a reserve deputy. Oklahoma prosecutors are investigating the shooting.

“Reserve Deputy Bates did not commit a crime,” Tulsa Police Sgt. Jim Clark said. “Reserve Deputy Bates was a victim, a true victim of slip and capture. There’s no other determination I could come to.”

Harris reportedly reached for his waistband while he was on the ground, which led to Bates going for his taser.

“I want to know if he was shot in the back accidentally or on purpose,” Harris’ brother Andre told KTUL. “These are all the things that not only I want, but the public wants.”

This video surfaces days after another video caused a white officer to be charged with murder for the killing of an unarmed black man. South Carolina officer Michael Slager was charged with murder after shooting and killing unarmed 50-year-old Walter Scott.

John Legend is using his talents to address a social cause. The Academy Award-winning singer has announced that he is launching a campaign to end mass incarceration, FREE AMERICA.

“We have a serious problem with incarceration in this country,” Legend told the Associated Press. “It’s destroying families, it’s destroying communities and we’re the most incarcerated country in the world, and when you look deeper and look at the reasons we got to this place, we as a society made some choices politically and legislatively, culturally to deal with poverty, deal with mental illness in a certain way and that way usually involves using incarceration.”

The first things on Legend’s agenda will be to perform at a correctional facility in Austin, TX and then to attend a press conference with state legislators to talk about Texas’ criminal justice system. The Grammy-award winner will also co-host a criminal justice event with Politico in Washington, DC and pay a visit to a prison in California.

More artists will be added to the campaign in the future.

“I’m just trying to create some more awareness to this issue and trying to make some real change legislatively,” he said. “And we’re not the only ones. There are senators that are looking at this, like Rand Paul and Cory Booker, there are other nonprofits that are looking at this, and I just wanted to add my voice to that.”

I want the world to see the real ins and outs of her empire, her role as a den mother to the women and hopefully spark a discussion about how escorts are viewed in the United States and worldwide.” – P. Frank Williams

During the interview, Saf was asked if he would be interested in collaborating with one of his favorite artists – Lil Wayne. He conceded that a musical union with his ex-girlfriend’s boss was probably unlikely.

“That’s a conflict of interest. That wouldn’t happen,” said Safaree. “I wouldn’t even try to do that.”

Safaree was also asked about another performer closely tied to Nicki. The Young Money rhymer is now romantically linked to Maybach Music Group’s Meek Mill. Host Yesi Ortiz wanted to know Safaree’s thoughts on Meek’s music.

“I like that [‘Off The Corner’] and the [‘The Get Back’] song,” the New Yorker stated. “One thing about me, I’m not a hater… I’m nota  bitter bird cornball.”

After inspecting the bus, one trooper alleged to have smelled marijuana. Authorities say they then discovered weed, methamphetamine, and drug paraphernalia.

Nelly (born Cornell Haynes) was arrested and charged with felony possession of drugs, simple possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is currently out on bond.

Nelly’s attorney Scott Rosenblum issued a statement:

Nelly was one of several individuals that was on a tour bus that was stopped and searched while traveling through Tennessee. In fact, there had been 15-20 people that had access to the bus prior to the stop. Allegedly, a small quantity of contraband (MDMA aka Molly or Ecstasy) was discovered during the routine search. We are extremely confident that when the facts come out, Nelly will not be associated with the contraband that was allegedly discovered.
