This is worth listening to. Two black guys went out of the way to get themselves arrested. They had multiple opportunities to not get arrested. They refused and ultimately they got what they wanted. The bizarre thing is that the whole thing is being interpreted as if the black guys were victims of racism.
Today’s riot will come to you courtesy of Antwon Rose II, who was shot by police after fleeing from a car that was pulled over after participating in a drive-by shooting. However, the media as usual presents that backward in order to promote its message of Christ-like innocent minorities terrorized by white strength and power.
Police are currently reviewing video which reportedly shows Antwon Rose firing a gun during a drive-by shooting just minutes before he was shot and killed by police officer Michael Rosfeld.
(1) the person to be arrested has committed a forcible felony
(2) he’s attempting to escape and possesses a deadly weapon
(3) he will endanger others if not arrested right away.
In these situations police have to deal with uncertainties. The car matches the description of a vehicle involved in a shooting, it has bullet holes in its rear window. The suspects flee and the officer has no idea whether they are armed or not, but he has very good reason to believe they are (ie. the shot up car). No certainty but objectively speaking a high probability. He has to decide is it better to let this guy escape on foot and potentially take a hostage, kill someone who gets in his way or shoot at another cop trying to detain him. Remember he doesn't KNOW this guy is unarmed, he only knows that there's a good chance he is. In retrospect you can say hey he was fleeing and unarmed, but given the circumstances in the moment the cop is very justified in believing him to be armed and dangerous to the public. If anyone is ever in that situation it would be a huge mistake to run.
