HOUSTON – The turnout was low, but the emotions ran high Wednesday for a group of protesters upset over the not guilty verdict in the trial of a Bellaire cop.

Sgt. Jeffrey Cotton was on trial for aggravated assault by a public servant for shooting Robbie Tolan in front of his Bellaire home on New Year’s Eve 2008. Cotton was attempting to arrest Tolan for driving what he believed to be a stolen car. The car belonged to Tolan, but another officer mistakenly typed in the wrong license plate number.
Tolan testified he was on one knee arguing with Cotton for pushing his mother when he was shot. Cotton told jurors the shooting was justified because he believed Tolan was reaching into his waistband for a weapon as he jumped off the ground.
On Tuesday, jurors acquitted Cotton after listening to a week of testimony.
Local activist Quanell X organized a protest Wednesday outside the Bellaire Police Department.
"This cop is a criminal, this cop should be in jail," Quanell X said. “If you shoot one more black man in Bellaire in cold blood, then your damn city will go up in flames.”
One longtime Bellaire resident showed up at the protest.
“I don’t know what happened and no one is ever going to get the real truth,” Cheryl Grummons said. “I think the City of Bellaire needs to take responsibility for what they did and this (the protest) doesn’t need to happen.
“I hate this (the protest) when it’s all about race. You know what, we all live all over,” Grummons said.
She later got into a heated discussion with several of the protesters.
Many demonstrators disagreed. They likened the Bellaire Police Department to terrorists that should be eyed cautiously.
“We are going to put Bellaire on the watch list, on the terrorists list,” said one elderly protester.
“Call Obama,” someone yelled out in response.
“Sister, Obama can’t do nothing about this, the people in this city are going to have to do something about this,” he replied.

The Tolan family said Tuesday they plan to file a lawsuit in federal court and hinted the City of Bellaire will be named as a defendant.

Did the police ever find a weapon on him?

Was there ever a weapon found?

I guess technically, that doesn't matter. The verdict would seem to say that the perceived threat of deadly violence is enough to shoot. The cop "thought" he was threatened, so he fired.

Yes, yes.

How can someone argue with a verdict handed down from a jury......

Just like in the drug raid topic from not too long ago the main issue is the cops making the first mistake every time. Then once they are actually neck deep in the situation the law/brokenpolicy's are in place to allow the officer to do whatever he wants.

I dont agree with a lot of Qx's theories but on this case this man was shot in his own driveway in front of his own car.

Maybe if we spent a little more tax $$ in the local law enforcement training academy this can be prevented in the future.

go look up force continum for law enforcement officers. This was justified.

First, why was he arguing, just do what the law asks you to do, if you are innocent, the truth will be known shortly....

Second, keep your fucking hands out of your pocket. Im sure the police officer was saying lye on the ground, put your hands behind your head...obviously this stupid fuck doesnt understand english....


EDIT: Here, I will make your trolling life a little easier jason...

srry now days i just skip over your posts

I will never know what the hell you just posted about.

[Kraker Jak]

I am going to learn how to post without making personal attacks, or I will no longer post. This is my warning.

[Kraker Jak]

I will never know what the hell you just posted about.

Which exactly proves my point. That better spaz? sorry...i didnt know personal attacks were against the rules.

[deathgodusmc]

I have to agree with kracker. When something like this happens the best thing to do is just comply. It wont take long at all to find the error. Then you actually have a lawsuit you can win. Don't comply and you pretty much screwed yourself.

As a Houstonian I can't get behind Mr. X, I think he is a joke. It doesn't matter if his opinion is wrong or right in relation to this case. He is threatening a community and that is nuts.

He is an attention whore and causes more harm than good. This is only going to fuel the fire.

OH and WTF! I know there have been some forum pissing between ol' Kraker and Jason..but come on guys remember Big Woodrows. We can all have fun together.
