![]() Oakland will soon restore most of the $29 million it cut from the police budget last year.įlorida has passed a law that lets the governor and his cabinet reverse any changes to cities’ police budgets that they deem unwise. Baltimore’s city council president championed a measure to cut the police department’s budget by $22.4 million but since taking office last December as mayor he has proposed increasing it by $28 million.

Did the officers think someone likely would open fire as they approached the car? No gun was found but one had been used in the robbery. So a jury will have to make the call - justified killing or not. Sykap was fleeing from police and allegedly had tried to run down one or more. The car and the 5 boys in it were suspected in several crimes that night, including a Moiliili armed robbery about 20 minutes prior to the crash. It’s puzzling why police didn’t just yell for him to come out, if he could, and at least show his hands if he could not. It seems to have erupted after the car crashed and from behind it. There are some troubling questions about the shooting. Especially not now that the City Prosecutor has directly charged one with murder and 2 with attempted murder. !! Don't use recordar for remembering to do sth.I doubt there’s going to be any major clamor about a grand jury not indicting any Honolulu police in the fatal shooting of 16-year-old Iremamber Sykap as his stolen car crashed into a small drainage canal on Kalakaua Avenue at Philip Street.
