bear jordan was reading the paper and came across this article about Shepell Terell getting shot by the CPD. And the first thing that came to mind was Bernie Mac as a black hating cop in Dont Be A Menace and Martin Luther the King's Poor People's Campaign in Memphis where garbage men were on strike.
Chicago Police Officer John Henry said Terrell confronted police with a gun. Police then shot Terrell, authorities said. Two guns were later found at the scene, said Mark Payne, a spokesman for the Independent Police Review Authority. Family members said it isn't possible that Terrell could have had a gun in each hand and opened fire with children around. They said police told them they were responding to a report of shots fired in the neighborhood, but all they heard were fireworks.
Nina Eskridge, 20, said her father worked hard at a sanitation job to help support his seven children, of which she is the oldest. "He worked as a garbage man to take care of his kids," "He was a gentle giant. He fell, and they kept shooting," Terrell's family placed his uniform for his job at Diamond Waste & Recycling Corp.
Greenlaw said he cleaned up the last of the blood that he said officials missed in their own cleanup. Despite saying he could handle the work, Greenlaw's eyes were coated with tears as he recounted the morning's task. "Don't ever do it," he said.
