If that police report is true then it sounds like this exonerates the two men, They saw a man they witnessed breaking into their house they also saw the same man putting his hands down his pants as if he had a weapon Taunting them.. they went out to question him with a weapon because they thought he had a weapon and he violently attacks somebody with a shotgun? WowThey absolutely were following him. The jogger had already turned and ran away TWICE.they said they had guns, they weren't following the dude pointing them at him. if they were doing that, why did they park soooooo far in front of him? just have some fundamental idea what you see. you can see the driver wasn't in the truck, he stopped far ahead of the jogger. The jogger had every opportunity to turn and run the other way. There was a witness behind him. I'm not going to change my opinion from what I see on the video, it says enough for me to see the dude had an out and didn't take it.[
The two men from the truck stated to police they were chasing the jogger, with guns.I try not to put myself into that situation. It scares me. They could shoot.i also talk to people I know carrying guns. why don't you think we shouldn't talk to someone with a gun?harassment especially if they are holding firearms......I talk to people everyday--but they don't have firearms..they can request to talk to him, but they don't have a right to.....if fact, that can be seen as harassmentagain, they are illegally detaining/hindering him.....unless he just committed a crime ....did he?
They are not detaining him........again.......watch the video.........at all times the black guy had freedom of movement.....there was absolutely nothing to prevent him from jogging on down the street as he should have.
There was no excuse for him to attack the white guy with the gun.
They are detaining him. According to the fathers own words the incident in the video is at least the 3rd time they attempted to cut Ahmaud off. They went above and beyond what Georgia law allows for a citizens arrest. Ahmaud is under no obligation to talk to them. The father and son needed to let him got and just dial 911 after the first attempt to stop him. Instead they followed him and cut him off 2 more times. This was harassment and not a citizens arrest. It seems clear Ahmaud is trying to avoid them in the video (which is at last the 3rd time they cut him off) by swerving and running around the right side of the truck. But Travis moves to the front of the truck and cuts him off. I'm wondering what was going through Ahmaud's mind at that point knowing these guys weren't going to let him go. IMO he had a right to assume a defensive posture. A jury will decide.
I'm a Trump supporter and big defender of the 2nd Amendment. But this type of vigilante justice is NOT why we have the right to own weapons. The father and son had a right to open carry. They had a right to request Ahmaud stop to talk to them. But once Ahmaud made it clear he did not want to talk to them, they did not have a right to cut him off 3 times and block his path with a show of intimidating force. The poor decisions made by the father and son led to this incident. Under Georgia law this looks like involuntary manslaughter at least.
Exactly....a lot of liberals have a gun phobia....in Georgia anyone can walk around with a gun as in a lot of states. Still yet the fear of guns is quite rampant thanks to the media.
However the black dude must have had no fear of guns....I mean who in their right mind will attack someone holding a shotgun? Maybe he was on drugs???
How would you feel about two people with guns chasing you?
You have no evidence yet that shows them chasing him with guns.
In fact, the runner saw the dude with the gun before he ever got to the truck. It wasn't pointed at him at all. And you can see the jogger as he approached he went toward the drivers side, and I can see he sees the kid with the gun, and instead of turning around and running the opposite way, he maneuvers around to the passenger side and runs directly toward the kid with the rifle. The old man in the truck bed had no gun in his hand at the time the runner was approaching. The runner had every opportunity to avoid the truck and gun by simply turning around. That's what I would have done. just saying, I don't go down dark alleys for that very reason.
And, there was a witness right behind him videotaping him if all he did was turn and run toward that vehicle.
Please try to be informed.
You should do more than just watch the short video.
Yep...you got it....that is why the police exonerated them but now are being over-ruled by politicians trying to cater to the negro vote and to prevent the natives from rioting.
