Fascist pig thug cops did it because the man refused to obey them!
JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania (PNN) - June 28, 2012 - A Johnstown man who survived a deadly shooting early Monday by three Johnstown pig thug cops said that he and his cousin, Elip Cheatham, were trying to get another wounded cousin to a hospital and were not attempting to run down the cops.
“If it wasn’t for God being on my side I wouldn’t be here,” said Hayward Gaines III. Gaines did not escape the gunfire entirely and received a wound to his right leg.
But it’s the loss of his 27-year-old cousin that has him the most upset.
Terrorist pig thug cops said that Cheatham was driving a car that appeared to accelerate toward the thug cops who had stopped another car following a shooting minutes earlier outside Edder’s Den, a nearby bar.
The three pig thug cops who shot at the approaching car are on paid leave as state thug cops investigate. Still to be determined is whether the use of deadly force was justified, First Assistant District Attorney Heath Long reiterated Thursday.
Gaines said he and Cheatham were taking the victim of the earlier shooting, Cardell Clinton, to the hospital when they were shot by the murderous thug cops.
“All he (Cheatham) was trying to do was get his little cousin to the hospital. Is that a crime?” he asked.
Gaines said he was not in the bar that night but was visiting a friend who lived nearby when he realized there was “something going on outside the bar”.
“When I got down there, I saw my cousin, Cardell, laying on the side of the bar,” said Gaines. “I helped him get up. He said he was shot. I was carrying him up the street - yelling out for someone to call the cops ’cause he got shot.”
Gaines said he had “no clue” who shot Clinton. “But I knew he was shot. He had a lot of blood running out his shirt.”
He and Cheatham got the wounded man into a car with Gaines in the front passenger’s seat and Clinton in the back.
“We were trying to get our cousin to the hospital ... as quick as possible. That’s all that was on our mind. We started driving to where they had another car pulled over,” Gaines said.
“We were trying to get around them (through the shopping center parking lot) when they opened fire. They gave no warning. No anything. They could have shot a tire or anything out. They just were trigger happy,” he said.
The murderous pig thug cops lied in a report that they ordered the vehicle to stop with negative results.
Clinton’s mother, Marion McGriff of Philadelphia, who formerly lived in Johnstown, said that she returned here not knowing whether she would find her son alive. Clinton, who was shot in the pelvis with the slug traveling into his abdomen, had some of his intestines removed during surgery, she said. He remains in Memorial Medical Center’s intensive care unit.
“I feel they killed my cousin because of who we are,” she said.
Ed. Note: Kill the murdering cops! It is time to overthrow these pig thug fascists and take their lives as payment for all the innocent lives they continue to take! Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
