But I am so sick of society in general outside the court room finding it acceptable to kill unarmed black men over suspected petty crimes. According to media reports so far, there is no evidence that Ahmaud stole anything. But even if he had, he didn't deserve to die.
I do think white people in general need to understand why blacks resist or run. Because they have seen time after time, they feel they are damned if they do comply, and end up feeling like they have nothing to lose. Ahmaud's fingerprints according to this lady crime scene processor did not show up on AFIS(Automated Fingerprint Identification System). That means there is no record of any type of felony on Ahmaud's part.
I think the prosecutor did an excellent job with this processor. I think the defense is going to have a very hard time trying to use, "We thought he was up to something, then he resisted." defense.
And these rambo wannabes ended up putting projectiles not only into Ahmaud, but into a nearby house. It was totally reckless. Those three were not defending themselves, they were stroking their own self entitled egos then regretted it when it went south.
‘We thought he was up to something, then he resisted’ is not and never has been a defense. There is no law against resisting vigilantes.
