Gang of murderous thugs use dead man's finger in attempt to access his phone.

Victoria Armstrong, whose fiance, Linus F. Phillip, was shot and killed by a Largo police officer last month [was] at Sylvan Abbey Funeral Home in Clearwater the day two detectives showed up with Phillip's phone. They were taken to Phillip's corpse. Then, they tried to unlock the phone by holding the body's hands up to the phone's fingerprint sensor. [...]

Phillip was shot and killed March 23 at a Wawa gas station after police said he tried to drive away when an officer was about to search him.

Let's recap:

• Unlocking a phone with a corpse:

  Creepy. Never use TouchID!

• Busting in to a funeral home with the family present to do that:

  Monstrous.

• Doing it to cover your ass for executing an unarmed black man:

  Priceless.

BTW, "Officer Matthew Steiner noticed Phillip's rented Nissan Altima had illegally tinted windows."
