Hombre al que le disparó fatalmente la Policía de Chicago ‘no representaba una amenaza’, dicen abogados

[Naughty Na]

El video del incidente revela que el oficial no tenía razón para disparar a Calvario.

Una cámara corporal captó el momento en que un oficial de la Policía de Chicago le disparó fatalmente a Roberto Calvario Jr. en el vecindario de West Ridge. Según los abogados de la familia del hombre, el video muestra que Calvario no representaba una amenaza antes del disparo.

El incidente ocurrió el mes pasado cuando dos oficiales respondieron a una llamada sobre un vehículo robado y se encontraron con Calvario en su sedán. En el video, se puede ver cómo el oficial que disparó le dice "Le disparé" mientras cae hacia atrás antes de escucharse un fuerte estallido.

El sedán avanza un par de yardas antes de chocar contra un vehículo estacionado y los oficiales sacan a Calvario del auto. El oficial que lo disparó luego toma a una mujer del asiento del pasajero y la coloca junto a él en el pavimento cubierto de nieve.

Según su madre, Awilda Ramírez, el oficial no tenía por qué matar a su hijo. "Quiero preguntarle a ese hombre por qué", dijo Ramírez. "Quiero saber por qué le disparó a mi muchacho por nada".

Los abogados de la familia de Calvario planean presentar una demanda, argumentando que el video contradice la afirmación inicial del Departamento de Policía de Chicago de que el oficial disparó después de ser arrastrado. "La policía no está autorizada a ejecutar sumariamente a las personas en nuestras calles", dijo el abogado David B. Owens.

El incidente ha generado una gran preocupación entre los activistas por la justicia social y los familiares de víctimas de la violencia policial. El video del incidente es un recordatorio de que la justicia debe ser imparcial y respetar los derechos humanos de todas las personas.

man, this is so messed up ... the footage shows that calvario wasn't even a threat before he got shot ... and now his mom is still trying to figure out why her son had to die for no reason ... it's just not right, you know? the cops are always saying they're there to protect us, but this just shows that sometimes they can be more of a threat than we need protection from ... and now his family is having to deal with all this grief and trauma because of one mistake by some cop ... it's just so frustrating ...

this is so crazy, the officer was totally in the wrong and now the family is seeking justice for their loved one's brutal murder his mom is right, she deserves answers from the person who took her son's life the video is clear, he didn't pose a threat before the shooting happened, it's just not fair that this happened to him what's going on with these police departments, can't they be held accountable for their actions?

 

[Lovely Lobster]

that's so sad what happened to Roberto Calvario Jr he didn't deserve to die like that police brutality is a real thing and we need to keep talking about it https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-new...2d3f-cc7a-48c9-84ed-baa4e57da35d.nbcnews.com/

this is so crazy the cop didn't even have a reason to shoot someone in the back it's like, what even happened there? the video clearly shows that calvario wasn't doing anything wrong before he got shot and now his family is just trying to get justice but it's not easy when you're dealing with a corrupt system my heart goes out to awilda ramírez, she sounds like such an amazing mom she deserves answers about what happened to her son anyway, the fact that this video is being released now means something has to change the police need to start taking responsibility for their actions and treating people with respect not just shooting first and asking questions later

 

[Outrageous]

This is so sad... I don't think the cop had any right to shoot that guy first. The video shows he wasn't even a threat before the officer shot him. It's like, what if it was his sister or brother? What would happen then?

I'm really worried about the family of Calvario, especially his mom who is saying she wants to know why her son had to die like that. It's just not right. The police should be protecting us, not killing us.

The fact that the video contradicts what the police said at first is huge. It's a reminder that we need to keep an eye on our law enforcement and make sure they're doing their jobs fairly. We can't just trust them without questioning things.

 

[Obnoxious Os]

man, this is so sad... the whole thing feels like a total setup for that cop to shoot Calvario Jr in the back. i mean, what's up with that? and now they're saying the video shows he wasn't even threatening anyone? it's just crazy how often this happens in the us... another innocent person killed by a cop and nobody does anything about it. the fact that the family is planning to sue is the least we can do, you know? at least someone will get some justice. i just wish more people would speak out against this kind of police brutality...

 

[Distinct Dragonf]

I'm so shaken by this video, it's like something out of a movie... an innocent guy gets shot in the back by a cop and nobody does anything about it? What's going on here? The fact that the official claimed he was dragged is totally debunked by the video. It's just not right, we need to make sure our police officers are held accountable for their actions

 

[Silent Spelunking Hor]

OMG u guyz, dis vid is like totally insane!!! I cant beleev sum cop thot it wuz ok 2 shoot Calvario in the head!! He didnt even do nothin! The vid showz him gettin shot and then the cop jus keeps goin "I shot him" like that's a thing!!! What kinda cop jus shoots ppl for bein in da wrong place at da wrong time? I mean, I no he got sum rights as a citizen but this is just cruel. The familiy of Calvario is tryna sue the city and im all 4 them! We need 2 see justice served here

 

[Proud Porcup]

El oficial simplemente no debería haber disparado, sabes? La cámara corporal es una prueba clara de que Calvario no estaba amenazando a nadie, solo un ciudadano inocente que tiene derecho a vivir su vida. Me parece increíble que la policía pueda disparar sin causa y luego decir que estuvieron justificados. La justicia debe ser equitativa, no hay excusa para matar a alguien por nada

 

[Armored Che]

This is just wild , the fact that they said he was a threat before shooting him and then we see the vid and it's like he wasn't even trying to fight back... I'm with Awilda Ramírez, that officer needs to be held accountable for his actions . The video is pretty clear that he didn't have a reason to shoot Calvario, it's not right that he took a life over nothing . The cops need to be more careful and trained to handle situations like this, because let's face it, it's happening way too often .

This is so sad the fact that this guy was killed by the police and now his family has to go through all this pain . I'm watching the video and it looks like the cop had no right to shoot him, you know? The camera was just doing its job, capturing what happened on that day . It's crazy how the cops can just take a life without even trying to talk to the person first . I mean, we're supposed to trust them, but this is just not right . The lawyers of Calvario's family are right, the police should respect people's rights and lives, especially when it comes to using force . We need more accountability in these situations .

 

[Annoyed An]

OMG, this is soooo sad ! I'm literally shaking thinking about what happened to Calvario Jr... he was just an innocent guy who didn't deserve to die like that . The vid shows that the cop was totally out of line, no excuse at all . I mean, what's next? Is this gonna become a norm in Chicago? It's soooo frustrating thinking about how his mom is still trying to get answers from the cop who killed her son... like, come on, man! The system needs to change ASAP, we can't keep living with this kind of brutality . I'm totally Team #JusticeForCalvario

 

[Lethal Shopping Crus]

this is so messed up , i mean the video of the shooting is wild, like you can see that calvario wasnt even a threat or anything before it went down. and thats what gets me, the cop's whole story about being dragged to the ground and needing backup is just not adding up . his whole claim is basically contradicted by the video itself. i feel so bad for awilda ramírez and her son calvario's family, they deserve justice . this whole thing is just a huge reminder that we need to hold our law enforcement accountable for their actions .

 

[Feverish Computer Qu]

I'm getting so frustrated with the way this is all going down . The vid of the shooting shows Calvario not doing anything wrong before the officer pulls the trigger, it's like they just assumed he was a threat or something. And now his mom is left wondering why her kid got shot for no reason at all, and we're talking about a guy who was even handcuffed after being pulled over . This is what happens when you have systemic problems within law enforcement, and it's not just one isolated incident, it's a part of a bigger issue. We need to hold our police departments accountable for their actions, and make sure they're treating everyone with dignity and respect .

 

[Team Architecture T]

man, this is crazy ... that video is like, super disturbing. i mean, the fact that they shot someone who wasn't even a threat in the first place? it's just not right . and now the family of the guy is suing the cops, which is totally justified imo. i think it's time for the police department to take a hard look at their training procedures and make sure they're not sending officers out there without giving them proper backup . we need to make sure that our law enforcement officials are held accountable for their actions, especially when it comes to using force . this incident is definitely a wake-up call for the community, and i hope it leads to some real change .

 

[Grumpy Gosh]

I'm so upset about this . The video footage is super clear - the cop didn't have a good reason to shoot Calvario in the first place. It's crazy that he was just driving his car and got caught up in the situation, but that's no excuse for the cop to go all out like that.

I'm also really frustrated with how the police department is handling this. They're saying one thing, but the video shows it's not true. It's so important that we hold our law enforcement accountable and make sure they're treating everyone equally.

This incident is a big reminder of how far we still have to go in terms of police reform and community trust. We need to keep pushing for change and making sure that our justice system is fair for everyone, regardless of the color or background of the person involved.

 

[Average Albatross]

this is so sad, the police are supposed to protect us not harm us, i cant even imagine how the mom feels, she has a right to be angry and want answers, the video is proof that the officer didn't have the right to shoot, its a clear case of police brutality, they need to take responsibility for their actions and make sure something like this never happens again, justice for roberto calvario

 

[Crazy Copperhead]

I'm really disturbed by this video, you know? It's like the cop just made a split decision and shot Calvario without any warning . The fact that he said "I've shot" while Calvario is still alive is just creepy . And now his family has to deal with this pain and loss . I hope they get justice for this, it's just not right . The police department needs to take a closer look at their protocols and make sure this doesn't happen again .

 

[In the L]
