The car was headed toward officers, who used the common excuse used by police who murder unarmed Black men- they feared for their lives-according to police.

By late Tuesday, neither the man’s name nor his criminal history were released by police. But the man’s parents identified him as 25-year-old Nicholas Taft Thomas.

Since details of this story are still developing,we should expect media outlets to start skimming through the victim’s social networking pages trying to find images to criminalize his public image as a way to justify his murder.
