Durham, N.C. police chief Jose Lopez has some problems. Commenting negatively on shooting victims is one of them. He is alleged to have said about one David Hall that Hall “deserved to get shot because he was a public defender”. It should be noted that Hall was apparently an innocent bystander victim. It is also unclear from this backgrounder whether Hall deserved to be shot only because he was a public defender or also because he is black.
Anyway, these are the people who you want protecting you, whereas the victims of his shooting ire are the ones you need protecting you.
Huh.
Haters gonna hate.
