Roselle Acquitted in Unarmed Joseph Santos Shooting, Pennsylvania, 2018
South Whitehall Township police officer Jonathan Roselle fatally shot Joseph Santos, 44, at about 5:45 p.m. on July 28, 2018, on Hamilton Boulevard across from Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. Santos was unarmed. The encounter began after a woman told Roselle that a man had tried to get into her car. Witnesses said Santos had been darting into traffic, jumping on cars and damaging vehicles in the 3700 block of Hamilton Boulevard. Santos climbed onto Roselle's police vehicle and pounded on its windshield and windows before turning back toward the officer. Roselle then fired, killing him. Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin charged Roselle with voluntary manslaughter on August 7, 2018. Martin said Roselle may have faced some danger but that deadly force was not justified. The defense argued that the shooting was reasonable because Santos had attacked vehicles, was covered in blood and appeared impervious to pain. A Lehigh County jury acquitted Roselle in March 2020 after about six hours of deliberation. Roselle later left the police department. In September 2021, the department's insurer agreed to pay $950,000 to settle a civil lawsuit brought by Santos's family. |

Re: Roselle Acquitted in Unarmed Joseph Santos Shooting, Pennsylvania, 2018
I'm Italian born and look white and live just across the border. I haven't crossed the border in years and i never felt "RIGHT" in the states. Every time i come back to Canada it's like coming back to paradise as i know i would never get shot by the police among many other things. There is so much wrong with what is happening in this video. God keep our country great!!! |

This is almost as bad as the incident in one of the Carolinas where the black guy is running away from the cop and the cop kills him...shooting him in the back several times. I know that cop is in Federal Prison and this guy should get the same. Fucking asshole!!!

Apparently, it has not been determined whether the uncooperative combative clown was armed or not. So to title this thread about an "Unarmed Black Man" is innaccurate at the very least. What else? "He wat a gud boi"? "He din doo nuffin'!"? He may not have been such a "gud boi". He may have been prevented from "doin sumpin'"... |

You must be another one of Oswald's accounts. Only other person that would come on here and defend this It's not a cops job to use 'lethal force' unless it's necessary. There are other ways to put a stop to the person/situation. Some cops aren't as brain dead.. You can clearly see that this guy is unarmed and they knew he was mentally unstable. MURDER |
