Jesus Huerta appears dead in the back of a Durham police car, with a 'self-inflicted' gunshot wound - in spite of having been handcuffed and searched. 19 December 2013. A protest and vigil congregates in the People's Plaza of Durham. Under the town Christmas tree and in the flickering lights of a score of backup vehicles, police in riot gear advance on a nonviolent crowd, tearing down banners and signs, chasing and tackling protestors, and spraying chemical weapons indiscriminantly. I couldnt be more proud of the restraint and professionalism demonstrated by our officers tonight. Police Chief Jose Lopez said. "This had the potential to be much worse," He added ominously.

WTF, Durham P .D.? You're seriously harshing my mellow! Does riot gear mean never having to say you're sorry? Give these guys a call and tell them to

CHILL. OUT.
Jose L. Lopez, Sr. (919) 560-4322 jose.lopez@durhamnc.gov
