    Protesters Kill Black Police Officer

    This past week, a mass of protesters were in Philadelphia to oppose biotech research methods, biological weapons, genetically modified crops and other issues. They had announced plans to disrupt traffic and events in the city throughout the day. Well, they did a lot more... during a skirmish with police officers who were simply maintaining order in one of the largest cities in the U.S., one officer, Paris Williams, a 52-year old black male officer, was killed in the process.

    Officer Williams collapsed and died, and was pronounced dead beacause of hypertensive cardiomyopothy or heart disease.

    5 protestors were arrested, but will not face charges of murder or even manslaughter, but simply of "aggravated assault." You can read more about this story here: http://www.nbc10.com/news/4640083/detail.html

    No disrespect to Officer Williams, but i don't think you can "kill" someone of heart disease.
