White Policeman Shoots Black Man In His Home After He Called For Help

Is black man blood too not matter? Or do the white people carry white blood? Indianapolis PoliceAn Indianapolis cop shot a 48-year-old black man, Carl Williams in his own home Tuesday after the man called out police to respond to a robbery, authorities say. The black man called police out to his home to deal with an armed robber who had threatened his wife with a gun and tried to steal her car at around 4:30am.

Officer Christopher Mills responded with his partner – but when he saw Williams, Mills shot him, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department  (IMPD) said.

Mills, a nine-year veteran with the East District police, hit Williams in the stomach once. It’s not known if he fired other shots. His partner, an eight-year veteran, did not fire.

Williams was transported to IU Health Methodist Hospital in serious condition and is expected to survive.

‘Our homeowner, the individual who was trying his best to protect himself and his wife from any other harm, was shot mistakenly by our officers,’ IMPD Major Richard Riddle in a press conference Tuesday.

This incident occurred within a few seconds, and those judgment calls are made within a few split seconds. ‘She was victimized, and unfortunately now, her husband was victimized as well.’

In an edited 911 call played to press, Williams was heard telling the dispatcher that a black male in a red shirt with a ‘long gun’ had stolen the keys to his wife’s black Nissan Sentra, IndyStar reported.

At the end of the phone call, Williams – whose wife was also heard sobbing in the background – was heard saying ‘Is that him?’ apparently in reference to the robber.

The call is then disconnected and the operator is unable to re-establish a connection.

According to the IMPD, Mills and his partner approached the house and saw the black vehicle still stationary in the driveway.

Concerned that the armed robber was still on the premises, police said, the officers attempted ‘to approach in a covert manner to investigate the vehicle.’

Williams then exited his garage holding a handgun, the IndyStar said, and was shot.  It’s not clear what – if any – words were exchanged, or whether Williams resembled the description of the robber given to cops.

But police said there was no indication that Williams held the weapon in a threatening way.
