Community Leader Shot Dead after Police Chase. Dramatic Footage Shows why

[Social Media]

 

What began as a traffic stop turned into a deadly and dramatic confrontation involving DeShawn Leeth, a man once hailed as a community advocate who was ultimately gunned down after a violent series of events. Leeth, 30, who had previously served time for home invasions but later founded a youth nonprofit, was fatally shot after stealing a police vehicle and leading officers on a high-speed chase across state lines.

So, this is the “Black community leader” the Corporate Media is saying was murdered by a police officer.

Seemed like quite the leader.

According to law enforcement, the chaos unfolded on Friday when Ohio State Troopers responded to a vehicle crash. When they approached Leeth, the situation escalated rapidly. Bodycam footage obtained by CBS shows Leeth aggressively confronting the trooper. “Next time you touch me, you gonna die, next time you touch me, you gonna die,” Leeth can be heard shouting repeatedly.

 

 

The officer attempted to subdue Leeth with a stun gun, but it failed. A struggle ensued, with Leeth delivering blows and ultimately overpowering the trooper. During the altercation, he was heard growling, “I’m stronger than you!” as he forced the officer to the ground. The bodycam was knocked off in the scuffle, and a bystander intervened, urging Leeth to release the trooper.

 

 

Once free, Leeth jumped into the trooper’s cruiser and took off down the Ohio Turnpike. The subsequent 11-minute chase was captured by the stolen vehicle’s dash cam. Leeth drove erratically, weaving between cars at dangerously high speeds. Throughout the pursuit, he muttered to himself, declaring he “rebuked” anyone in front of or behind him.

 

 

Pennsylvania State Police eventually intercepted him in North Sewickley Township. Using a tactical maneuver, they struck the stolen cruiser, causing it to spin out of control, hit the median, and crash down an embankment. The vehicle flipped multiple times before coming to rest on its roof.

 

 

Amazingly, Leeth survived the crash and was pulled from the wreck by troopers. But the situation took another violent turn as Leeth once again lashed out, attempting to fight the officers trying to help him. It was at that moment that law enforcement opened fire, killing him on the scene.

 

 

Leeth’s death marks a grim end to what some saw as a story of redemption. At 18, he was incarcerated for his role in two home invasions. Years later, he became involved in a faith-based rehabilitation group while in prison and went on to found Underdawg Nation, a nonprofit focused on steering young people away from crime. His efforts gained recognition within his community, where he was seen as a positive force trying to inspire change.

 

In the wake of his death, a GoFundMe campaign created by his family has raised nearly $13,000. The fundraiser described Leeth as someone who “lived to inspire change.” It added, “He was a pillar of hope, a champion for the overlooked, and a beacon of unwavering faith. He lived to uplift others, to pour into his community, and to reflect God’s love in everything he did.”

MAGA 🤔

Hmm, violent yes, unhinged it seems so, needing to be shot once imminently detained? 

 

I certainly don't buy into the "He was a pillar of hope, a champion for the overlooked, and a beacon of unwavering faith. He lived to uplift others, to pour into his community, and to reflect God’s love in everything he did.” bit!

 

The police language at the end of the clip was quite illuminating! The "dramatic footage" certainly does not show why he had to be shot!

Well that problem has been eliminated, no chance of recidivism 👏

As bodycams on cops was such a wild success I think we should start putting them on elementary school teachers now...

Seriously? You need some help with your MAGA affliction. What does it have to do with this incident? 

Seems more like he took some serious drugs and lost it. 

You may act this way in your affliction though. Both of you act crazy in different ways.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Not much more you can say about it.

Lucas, Jesus, and whatever he was on have a lot to answer for, liked to have seen the bodycam footage of the cops who felt he needed shooting after the rollover, but then again this is the US of A, was there a need to shoot him dead?

I don't think he has enough convictions to warrant a statue alongside the lefts hero Mr Floyd.

 

Probably never even held up a pregnant woman at gunpoint.
