DETROIT -- The Associated Press reported that an independent autopsy confirms what was shown of a police body cam video: Patrick Lyoya was shot in the head.
The video also shows how Lyoya refused to obey the command of the officer, and eventually got into a physical scuffle with the cop and tried to take his taser from him. They wrestled to the ground as the officer continually asked him to let go of the weapon, which he did not and was shot by the officer's handgun.
The AP would have you believe the cop used excessive force and made it clear in the first sentence of their article that Lyoya was a black man [in capital letters and white officer [in lower case letters]. How they know that Lyoya was a man is beyond me--they're reporters, not biologists.
The final autopsy has not yet been released to the public, but there isn't much to guess at when you see the video.
Lyoya, 26, was stopped on April 4th, when the plate on the vehicle he was driving didn't match the vehicle. He refused to remain in the car when told. then he and the officer engaged in a struggle. Lyoya wasn't armed at the time of the stop but attempted to arm himself with the cop's taser, which clearly is cause for the officer to shoot him. The AP, however, didn't mention this factoid.
“This independent autopsy report confirms what we all witnessed in the horrifying video footage: Unarmed Patrick Lyoya was conscious until the bullet entered his head, instantly ending what could have been a long and fruitful life,” race hustler, cum attorney Ben Crump said.
The autopsy was performed by Dr. Werner Spitz. Crump said Lyoya could have lived until his early 80s if he hadn't resisted arrest and gone for the cop's weapon.

His family is angry and so too are others who saw the video and have never been involved in law enforcement nor faced a similar life and death situation, and therefore cannot understand why the police officer had to use his gun.
The officer's name has not been released due to avoid race-baiting violence, destruction and looting from BLM and Antifa.
State police will give their findings to the Kent County prosecutor for consideration of any charges, which, if any are leveled, would be a miscarriage of justice.
Ocean City, MD -- Police released a statement on Sunday stating its officers "are permitted to use force" when subjects resist arrest. This came after videos shown on social media depict a cop using his knee to hold down a resisting man and another cop using a Taser in another incident involving multiple arrests.
Several videos appear to show the incident that happened on the boardwalk around 8:30 p.m. Saturday after officers approached a large group vaping in a prohibited area.
"We are aware of the social media videos circulating regarding this incident. Our officers are permitted to use force, per their training, to overcome exhibited resistance," the statement said. "All uses of force go through a detailed review process. The uses of force from these arrests will go through a multi-level examination by the Assistant Patrol Commander, the Division Commander and then by the Office of Professional Standards."
One video shows a man with his hands up as a group of officers stands in front of him. The young man is ordered to get on the ground but he appears to lower one hand to unhook his backpack when a cop fires his Taser at him. The young man collapses to the ground as witnesses scream and shout expletives.
Another series of videos posted on Instagram shows a group of cops setting up a perimeter on the boardwalk while making multiple arrests. A group of officers can be seen holding a man on the ground when one officer drives his knee into the man a number times.
Officers can be heard yelling, "Back up!" as a large crowd of bystanders gathered and yelled profanities while recording the incident on their phones.
In a subsequent video posted by the account, a man and an officer can be seen wrestling with one another person who is resisting arrest. An officer then deploys a Taser that brings the man to the ground.
Police said the incident began when cops observed a large group vaping in an area where it is not allowed due to local smoking laws and informed them of the ordinance. Officers approached the group again to address the violation after observing a man in the group begin vaping again as they walked away.
The young obnoxious man, identified as 19-year-old Brian Everett Anderson, of Harrisburg, PA, refused to show his ID and became disorderly as a large crowd began to form around the officers, police said. The behavior by the crowd was obviously threatening to the police as they attempted to arrest Anderson for failing to show his ID and for violating the smoking law, but the miscreant resisted, the police said.
As officers were dealing with Anderson, another idiot, 19-year-old Kamere Anthony Day, also of Harrisburg, yelled profanities at officers and approached officers during the "lawful arrest," police said.
Day ignored officers’ orders to back up and, as he was being arrested for disorderly conduct, he resisted officers, police said.
Officers and public safety aides tried to set up a perimeter to separate the "aggressive and hostile crowd" that had formed as officers were making the arrests, according to the statement.
During the incident, 18-year-old Jahtique Joseph John Lewis, of Harrisburg, pushed a public safety aide in the chest, yelled profanities, picked up a police bicycle and tried to throw it at a public safety aide, police said.
Officers grabbed the bike from John Lewis, but he tried to assault the aide again, police said. He resisted arrest as officers tried to take him into custody, police said.
The fact that the cops did not beat the crap out of Lewis showed great restraint.
A fourth man, 19-year-old Khalil Dwayne Warren, of Harrisburg, was also arrested after police found him standing on private property next to two "no trespassing" signs, police said. Warren was asked to exit the property but became disorderly, and he resisted arrest as officers tried to take him into custody, police said.
The four Harrisburg men arrested were released after being charged with multiple offenses, police said.
Anderson was charged with disorderly conduct, resist/interfere with arrest, assault second degree, and failure to provide proof of identity.
Day was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing and hindering, failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order, resist/interfere with arrest, and assault second-degree.
John Lewis was charged with disorderly conduct, failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order, obstructing and hindering, assault second degree and resist/interfere with an arrest.
Warren was charged with trespassing-posted property and resist/interfere with an arrest.

Jalina Porter is the new deputy mouthpiece of the State Department and could easily be mistaken for a BLM or Antifa member rather than someone who stands for law and order.
In a Facebook posting dating back to Sept. 20, 2016, Porter said that the "largest threat to U.S. national security are U.S cops," adding, "Not ISIS, not Russian hackers, not anyone or anything else." [H/T Washington Free Beacon]
Porter's reference was in response to a video released of Terence Crutcher, an unarmed Black man who, according to police, abandoned his vehicle in the middle of the street. He began walking toward police with his hands in his pockets, refused to show his hands, as he kept walking as police ordered him to stop. He refused to comply and was shot. A quantity of PCP was found in his SUV after the incident.
Autopsy revealed that Crutcher had "acute phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication" at the time of the shooting, a total of 96 nanograms per milliliter in his blood, as well as tenocyclidine (TCP), a psycho-stimulant and hallucinogen which is more potent than PCP, was present.
The officer involved in the shooting, Betty Shelby was tried and found not guilty.
Obviously, the incident was horrible, but when making a political point, it's always easier to blame the police officer rather than the person who resisted arrest or refused to comply with police.
Porter was not at the scene nor at the trial of Shelby, but posted:
"An unarmed Black man takes a knee for justice, bigots riot. An unarmed black man (with his hands raised) takes a bullet and dies, these same bigots are silent. Explain this to me, please."
It apparently was not obvious to the police at the scene that Crutcher was unarmed when he refused to comply with them and posed a threat as he approached. We don't know what he was thinking at the time, and yes, he was apparently high on drugs, but what are cops supposed to do when they believe their lives are being threatened?
Porter, a former cheerleader for the NFL's Oakland Raiders and NBA's Washington Wizards, was also a top aide in the congressional office of Cedric Richmond, now Biden's White House advisor. She also worked for the left-leaning Truman National Security Project where Hunter Biden once worked.
"If y’all don’t wake up and rise up to this truth, the genocide against Blacks in America will continue until we are near extinct," she wrote.
The State Department had no comment.

You really don't have to be very smart to know that it's dangerous to resist arrest, and that danger increases when you go for a weapon in your car. Jacob Blake is not very smart, and one might even say he's stupid. But I'm not saying that, it's just that he resisted arrest and reached for a knife.
Details of the incredibly horrific criminal complaint against Blake, 29, have emerged, and it might change the way you see the story.
Blake was shot by a Kenosha, Wisconsin cop in the back seven times following a domestic dispute call. The shooting left Blake paralyzed from the waist down. This provided fodder [aka: an excuse] to the BLM and Antifa rioters across the country and even the National Football League supported this scumbag by putting his name, not his alleged victim's, on their helmets.
The video below is disturbing, but it shows the one perspective of the incident that the left chose to instantaneously blame on the police officers.
Blake's ex-girlfriend is identified in the criminal complaint as "LNB." She alleges that Blake sexually assaulted her in the early hours of May 3rd.
LNB states that Blake unlawfully entered her home and she awoke from her sleep to find Blake standing in her room, looming over her.
He is the father of LNB's three children and he allegedly demanded she return his possessions, and used some bad words in doing so.
"I want my s***," Blake reportedly said to the woman, and began to assault her according to the complaint.
"As LNB lay there, on her back, the defendant, suddenly and without warning, reached his hand between her legs, penetrated her vaginally with a finger, pulled it out and sniffed it, and said, 'Smells like you've been with other men,'" the at-times graphic complaint reads. [Blake is evidently an expert identifying the odors of other men's private parts.]
Following the assault, Blake reportedly stole her vehicle and left the premises.
The woman reports in the complaint that Blake is unemployed and without his own vehicle. Over the eight-years the two spent together, Blake reportedly sexually assaulted her at least twice per year during drunken episodes, causing her pain and humiliation.
The officer who took the woman's statement said she had a "very difficult time telling him this and cried as she told how the defendant assaulted her." She said that Blake's assault "caused her pain and humiliation and was done without her consent."
LNB told authorities that she was able to maintain her composure despite the incident, and attempted to follow Blake. When she discovered that her keys and her vehicle were missing, she immediately phoned 911 to report the incident.
Authorities charged Blake in July with felony third-degree sexual assault, misdemeanor trespassing, and disorderly conduct connected to domestic abuse.
Last month, Blake's ex-girlfriend--purportedly the same woman from the criminal complaint--reportedly phoned the police and reported yet another domestic incident which evidently occurred because he showed up at her home and had taken her keys.
The incident was caught on Raysean White, a bystander, on his cell phone. He said that Blake showed up at LNB's house where two women were arguing. He allegedly told one of his sons, who was at the home, to get into the vehicle and then walked into the home.
White briefly left the scene but returned to see Blake wrestling with police officers. He began, at that point, to record the incident once more.
At one point, another witness said that officers were attempting to take Blake into custody, and were punching him and tasing him while he was on the ground. Blake, however, can be seen wrestling out of the officers' grip and begins walking to his vehicle's front driver's side door. Officers follow him, guns drawn, and as Blake reaches into the vehicle, at least one Kenosha officer shoots Blake in the back at close range.
Blake shows off his fingers
Several of Blake's children were reportedly inside the vehicle at the time of the incident.
The witness also said he overheard officers saying that Blake had a knife.
Kenosha cops said that Blake was, indeed, armed with a knife at the time of the shooting. He had also place one of the cops in a headlock after being tased twice while resisting arrest.
Despite threat of lethal force, Blake 'continued to ignore the officers' commands' and walked around to the driver's door of the vehicle and reached in, allegedly for the knife, when he was shot.
Brendan Matthews, the attorney for the Kenosha Professional Police Association, said on Friday that all officers involved in the incident were placed on leave pending an investigation. This is apparently standard procedure.
There's a lesson in this incident--can you think what it might be?
