The accounts agree that, after obtaining some food at a local pool hall owned by his friend Charles Joy, Floyd hitched a ride in an East Liverpool neighborhood on October 22, 1934. He was spotted by the team of lawmen, at which point he broke from the vehicle and fled towards a treeline. Local officer Chester Smith fired first, hitting Floyd in the right arm, knocking him to the ground. At this point, the three accounts diverge; the FBI agents later attempted to claim all the credit, denying local law enforcement were even present at the shooting.[21] According to the local police account, Floyd regained his footing and continued to run, at which point the entire team opened fire, knocking him to the ground.[citation needed] Floyd died from his wounds shortly thereafter.<br /><br />https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Boy_Floyd<br /><br /><br />Dark Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220642215040873632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-61885220720649209822019-06-13T10:37:05.254-04:002019-06-13T10:37:05.254-04:00That's a nice , but none of it comports with t...That's a nice , but none of it comports with the known facts about Pretty Boy Floyd.<br /><br />One of the cops present when Floyd went down claimed later that the FBI agents on scene executed Floyd as he laid on the ground.

The crimes that he isn’t chasing were previous Class C misdemeanor citations, and the numbers so far don’t show a trend of concern. Certainly there will be some people trying to play the system, but if they find those people reselling stuff or such, they are arresting and prosecuting.<br /><br />This is just a continuation of similar plans across the country turning previously arrest eligible crimes into citations and diversion program. It’ll be interesting to see, and the next election will provide valuable feedback.CenterPuke88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17770056621255249861noreply@blogger.com
