The Police Killing of a Black Man in Mississippi Just Took Another Disturbing Turn - Mic: And while the officer didn't need to call Sanders a "nigger" for his death to fit a nationwide pattern of anti-black police violence, that's exactly what happened, according to attorneys representing the victim's family.
The Huffington Post reports that 39-year-old Sanders crossed paths with Herrington at a gas station around 10 p.m., when he saw the officer arguing with a white man Sanders knew . Sanders told Herrington to leave the man alone and departed. According to the report, however, once Sanders had left, Herrington allegedly said, "I'm gonna get that nigger."
