In the USA, another African American was killed in a controversial police operation. The U.S. Department of Justice announced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will assist the local police in Columbus, Ohio, in the investigation.
The Columbus police had previously reported that a police officer shot and killed a 23-year-old African American named Casey Goodson on Friday while searching for suspects. Goodson was not the person they were looking for, however.
Shot on his own doorstep
Lawyers for the family of the deceased made serious accusations against the security forces. The lawyers stated that Goodson was shot by the policeman just as he was unlocking his own front door.
Goodson returned from a dentist appointment and had sandwiches for himself and his family with him. He had carried a gun, but had a license for it. Goodson had neither had a criminal record nor had he been investigated. His 72-year-old grandmother and two small children witnessed the incident.
