  • The Officers were not attacted , The Testimony and all Evidence is There, The Memories of that Poor 13 Year old Boys life is destroyed Watching his Dads Death by UNAUTHORIZED FORCE on his Birthday Will remain the Truth and with Roberts Daughter Hearing him die and seeing him Will never be justified , Freedom of Speach ! Honesty and Do what is Right should be Reinforced , The Truth will be Reveiled no matter What ! We are all Judged When the Real Truth is covered Up !

    • More lies by local crack heads. The man was a total wack job living in a cease pool. He was a wife and child beater and had serious mental problems. He did attack the deputy and they did what they were trained to do. Roy Terry is another problem person in the area his post here is clearly showing his lack of information and just hate for police.

        • Roberts death was ruled Honocide due to multiple Shots to the Chest on Robert Anderson's Death Certificate , Now Justice needs Served , This Macy statement is wrong , she get a ear full pertaining to Dishonest wrong Info People do on a wrongful Death that wasn't told right and Accurate ! I lived there , Evidence doesn't like Where he was shot and Person Evidence never lies but Officers did , we need True Justice Now !
