“The United States Park Police officers who fatally shot a 25-year-old Virginia man last fall after a minor car collision and a brief chase fired at him at least nine times at close range, a video released on Wednesday shows.”
The victim, Bijan Ghaisar, “was a first-generation American-born citizen. He graduated from [Virginia Commonwealth University] in 2015 and had been working as an accountant at his family’s firm in McLean.” Friends remember him “as a ‘kindhearted and genuine’ person. … ‘He was always very nice, very kind, and a funny person,’ Amir Noorbakhsh said. ‘People are upset and angry. Everybody wants answers.'”
And no wonder. On November 17, 2017, Bijan was “driving south on George Washington Memorial Parkway — a federal road — in a green Jeep when he abruptly ‘stopped in the roadway.’ The car behind Mr. Ghaisar then rear-ended him, according to the [Department of the Interior’s traffic crash] report, and Mr. Ghaisar drove away.”
The cops cited the other driver for the accident—but also chased Bijan; why ticket only one peasant when you can rob two? They soon “[caught] up to the Jeep, and after the Jeep stops, the police vehicle pulls up alongside it. An officer gets out of the passenger-side door and appears to point a gun at the Jeep’s driver-side window and tug at the door. The Jeep, though, pulls away, and the officer bangs on the window…”
This scenario repeats several times, as cops continue approaching Bijan while brandishing their guns. Does anyone blame him for stepping on the gas with each such threat from these legalized killers? Indeed, his attorney notes, “I think it’s fair to say he was finding a more populated, better-lit space to go to based on the behavior of the officers…”
Though shot four times in the head, Bijan lingered for 10 days before dying. Imagine his family’s anguish as they hovered at his bedside while the rest of the world prepared for Christmas.
Naturally, Bijan’s slaughterers “remain on administrative leave.” They’ll no doubt return to slaying serfs soon enough, given that the corrupt and inept FBI is helping to whitewash–sorry, is investigating this horror.
