The African-American was acting erratically at the time of the shooting and appeared to be mentally ill. He was knocking on doors and crawling around without any clothes on.
#AnthonyHill (@AntHeezie) was unarmed shot dead by @DeKalbCountyPD today. These cops rather shoot then protect & serve! #BlackLivesMatter

The African-American ran at the police officer, when he arrived at the scene following a call from a local resident. The naked man refused to stop, prompting the officer to fire twice.
So… how long until the @DeKalbCountyPD says the officer who killed #AnthonyHill was in fear of his life? Or did they do that already?

#AnthonyHill was intelligent, brave, and loved by his girlfriend and family. He was bipolar. He was unarmed. He was murdered. #Antlanta

Police don't need to be killing unarmed people. There are so many other ways to subdue a suspect other than to shoot them. #AnthonyHill
