Riots will begin in 6...5...4...3...
The dead thug was on his way to medical school. We all know that.
Plus he had his hands up!
n.b. this is a race-free post.
The armed citizen was extremely careful, and did not draw his gun or fire until the suspected bank robbers attempted to carjack an innocent couple. The armed citizen is reported to be Sean Quaid. From phoenixnewtimes.com:
The robbers saw a man getting out of a Chevrolet Silverado pickup and decided to steal his vehicle. Jones pointed his handgun at the pickup's driver -- and Quaid, apparently standing nearby, drew his own gun from a holster and told the pair to stop.
Cherry turned and aimed at Quaid, who fired his gun.
As the robber fell, the couple in the pickup apparently hopped out. Cherry threw his gun to Jones, who jumped in the pickup and drove off by himself. As mentioned, he didn't get very far. He hit a building, ran a red light, hit a car and then fled on foot, shedding clothes as he ran. Police nabbed him moments later.
Phoenix New Times did a good job on reporting details not mentioned in the old media.
The dead robber’s partner is white.
