African-american Gets Life For Running Down, Killing Caucasian Cop * Cop Killer Gets Free Room and Board
SAN DIEGO -- An ex-convict who used a stolen flatbed truck to run down and kill a pursuing San Diego police motorcycle officer was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Kevin Gerard Williams, 39, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon and a special allegation that he killed Officer Terry W. Bennett in the line of duty. The defendant had six prior felony convictions on his record and has been to prison three times. Williams mental capacity is estimated to be that of a 12-year-old -- exacerbated by drug use. Bennett started chasing Williams who was driving a stolen truck. Williams made a hard U-turn and used the stolen truck as a battering ram to crush the officer against a fence. - (another angry white)

• Hostage: Suspect thought I was an angel - so he tied her up and threatened her life
  ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- The suspect in four Atlanta killings told the woman he held hostage for about seven hours that he thought she was an "angel sent from God," she said Sunday night. The woman, Ashley Smith, told reporters that she spoke of religion and family -- including her 5-year-old daughter -- in a bid to win the sympathy of Brian Nichols, the 33-year-old suspect. After 2 a.m. Saturday, Nichols forced his way into Smith's apartment in suburban Gwinnett County, tied her up and threatened her life, Smith said.
• "I thought he was going to strangle me," she added.
  She said Nichols tied her up with masking tape, a curtain and extension cord and told her to sit in the bathroom while he took a shower. "He told me I was his angel, sent from God, and that I was his sister and he was my brother in Christ."
  
  Jhn 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
