Looters and shooters and gas Oh My!

Perhaps, if the black community got their way in what they considered to be ‘justice’:

No arrest for suspect Intimidating store clerk with massive size (6’5” – 300#s) and “Strong arm” robbing convenience store of box of cheap cigars– Hey, he was just a kid and smoking cigars are a better choice than cigarettes.

No stopping by cop for walking down the middle of a street – Hey this is America - he can walk wherever he wants, right?

Not being questioned by cop just because he was wearing the same clothes that store surveillance tape showed and looked identical to the thief while carrying stolen cigars - This doesn’t mean he was the guy that committed the crime– obviously a case of mistaken identity.

‘Gentle Giant’ punches cop in face and tries to get gun inside police cruiser – Simply an accident. His hands slipped as he was trying to give cop a cigar as gesture of good will.

Suspect charges cop twice outside of cruiser – Hey he was just showing off his best steamrolling football moves and shouldn’t have been shot for that.

The cop should have just issued a ticket for jaywalking.

The sad and tragic truth is that a young man made a sequence of criminal activities (robbery and assaulting a police officer) that ultimately led to his demise. He alone was responsible for inappropriate actions. Lesson learned - bad decisions typically precipitate equally bad consequences – some unfortunately can be fatal.
