In a traffic stop last April, Billings police officer Grant Morrison pulled over a car with four people inside and repeatedly told them to raise their hands. When Richard Ramirez didn’t, Morrison warned he was going to shoot. Then he did. “I was getting very scared,” Morrison told the jury, the Billings Gazette reports. “He shoved his hand down to his side and started jiggling it up and down.” Methamphetamine and a syringe were later discovered near Ramirez’s seat, and a toxicology test found a strong dose of meth in his system.
A jury ruled this week that the officer who shot the unarmed man—and broke down crying afterward—was justified in pulling the trigger.
