Less than two weeks ago, an unnamed #NJ state trooper shot and killed Maurice Gordon, 28 years old.
He was not under arrest, was unarmed, and was waiting for roadside assistance in the back of a police cruiser.
The officer wouldn’t let Gordon take his seat belt off and exit the cruiser, and when the young man tried to exit—again, he was sitting there voluntarily and not being detained—the officer shot him, then placed him in handcuffs as he bled.
