Zachary Hammond was on a first date when he was fatally shot by a police officer in his car during a drug bust in South Carolina, his family says.


At the time the 19-year-old was shot and killed, his date, Tori Morton, was eating an ice cream cone, according to the family’s attorney, Eric Bland.


Morton, 23, was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana — all 10 grams of it — which, according to police, was the reason undercover agents set up the drug buy.

The official police report never mentioned the two gunshots that killed Hammond on July 26 in a Hardees parking lot. Seneca police say a second report — which has not been released to the public — details the officer’s account of the shooting.


Amid heightened scrutiny of fatal police shootings across the country, Hammond’s death has prompted numerous questions, few answers — and almost no national outrage.

This is why I think the police "problem" is where we need to focus and not on race. Take care of the bad apples and bad training and military style takedowns and we're onto something!

Unfortunately it doesn't fit into the politically correct mantra that those in power want us to focus on. As Stanton Friedman says of those who don't look for the truth of the matter, "don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up". Those nasty noisy negativists anyway.
