On Sunday, police responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle parked on Manchester Boulevard around 3:10 am. When police arrived, they engaged in a 45-minute long standoff before opening fire on the man and woman inside the vehicle, killing them both.

The woman was pronounced dead shortly after the shooting, and the man succumbed to his injuries after paramedics transported him to a local hospital.

The shooting seemed like an open and shut case until the next day. Mayor James Butts, while responding to questions about the shooting, opened up a huge can of worms — both the man and the woman were unconscious.

For at least 45 minutes, police attempted “to rouse” them in an effort “to de-escalate the situation,” said Butts.

After admitting that the couple was asleep, Butts quickly defended the officers, noting, “Obviously at some point they were conscious because somebody felt threatened.”

However, that notion has yet to be proven and is particularly unlikely due to the fact that not a single officer received so much as a scratch, nor did the couple have any reason to be violent.

Both of the victims were parents; Kisha Michael, 31, a single mother of three sons, and Marquintan Sandlin, 32, a single father of four daughters.

Families for both described them as devoted parents who made arrangements for care of their children while they took a night off.

“The police ain’t telling us nothing,” said Trisha Michael after being met with tight lips from the department.

“He was a loving father,” said Sandlin’s sister Leandra Faulkner.  “All he cared about was his girls, getting them right.”

According to his relatives, Sandlin had a ‘rough life’ but had turned it around and was working as a successful truck driver.

Sadly, these children will now grow up knowing that their parents were taken from them by cops, scared of a sleeping couple.

What the fuck, were they aggressively snoring? Who opens fire on someone they just spent 45 minutes trying to wake up? Great. Now I’ve heard it all. Cops are afraid of unconscious people. 45 minutes of de-escalation? Did it ever once occur that if you try to wake someone up in a car with loud noise and they don’t wake up, medical attention may be needed?

Rest in Peace Alim Rahim

An old childhood friend of mine was brutally murdered this past Mother’s Day in Largo, Maryland. There have been reports that Alim was shot 10 times and twice in the head. Alim and I hadn’t talked much as adults but I was sincerely rooting for him and wishing him the best. We lived completely different lives and we were so different but that time I saw him in Burger King a couple years after high school graduation and we were talking about his music and his goals. He still reminded me of the kid I knew back in elementary school. I always knew Alim had a strong heart and a sharp mind, even back in our High Bridge Elementary School days. I’m probably rambling, I’m sorry. I will hold on to the memories of us riding bikes all day during the summer and playing video games at your house up the street. I’m so sorry a coward has stolen your life from you Alim, please rest in peace and watch over your friends and family.

If anyone knows ANYTHING about this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE call 1-866-411-8477 (TIPS) You will remain anonymous.

Please boost this, Alim’s friends and family are hurting so much right now.

Immature people falling in love destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage, make a prison. Mature persons in love help each other to be free; they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondages. And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.
