The Baton Rouge Police Department shot and killed Calvin Toney while escorting a worker from the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services at an apartment. Toney was killed during a struggle that saw police taze Toney.
Despite the fact everyone involved from the police officer to the suspect were black, we have people trying to turn this into the latest “Black Lives Matter” controversy. Anti-police agitators began tweeting attacks on the police over this incident.

From what we know so far Omar, Calvin Toney received justice when he resisted arrest.

What about the life of the person Toney abused? Does that life matter? Also, the shooter was a black cop. Does his life matter?

What does saying his name accomplish? Do you think if you say his name enough times he’ll come back? Thankfully, that’s not how it works.

Toney was such a model father someone called child protective services on him.

"Toney was not handcuffed when he was shot"…I guess that makes it "okay" to pull your gun and shoot and #kill someone now! #CalvinToney #releasebodycams https://t.co/GGJQxTh57F

Our Hearts Hurt! #CalvinToney 196th Black person murdered by cops as of Mon 11-13-17. Does #LyndoJones = 197? Mostly kill organ harvest age.

Yep, that’s the ticket. Cops are killing black people in order to harvest their organs.

They always make sure to point out when the cop "was also black." As if killer cops are ever any race but blue. #RIP #CalvinToney #AnotherOne #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/wLA9fRWVIn

These are people who are not interested in facts and getting to the bottom of the story. They have a preset narrative of “cops are bad” and “any black person killed by police is good.”
These people are stupid. What are they going to do when they get in trouble, call a crack dealer?
The Louisiana State Police are investigating the circumstances behind this shooting. If you are an honest and fair person, you will let the investigation go forward.
