“How would know it hasn’t been edited. Too many examples in recent years of video that looks one way but turns out to be something else. You don’t find it odd that video just now turning up?...”

With a near certainty it had been in the possession of law enforcement. You do understand that it is exonerating to the father and son?
Bump
Granted, he could be a thief. That didn't seem to be the proper way to deal with the situation. Especially, if the father had so much leo experience and they had video evidence of the man committing crimes. One would think they would have turned over such info to the police to better help the community at large.
I am not sure it does. That is a question for jury to determine.
I’m trying to remember the last time I saw a headline “Black father and son arrested for murdering white jogger”.
I just can’t remember seeing any such headline.
The police record don't mean squat. And even if they did pull up and say "stop, we want to talk to you", and said nothing else, would you then run about 20' feet right at an armed person and attempt to disarm them? I don't think so.
No matter how ya chop it up, these are not the actions of an normal innocent person out for a jog.
That's not what happened. There was no detaining, the decedent ran to the man with the gun and attempted to physically disarm him.
The drivers had already tried to cut off the jogger twice before. Dunno what they proper response would be. People panic all the time. What is the sop for a citizens arrest, would they follow him across town if he was driving, or riding a bike? Attacking someones firearm at close distance isn’t always wise, nor unreasonable if one thinks they are being threatened.
Do you think that's the normal response for someone out for an innocent jog? I don't think so.
And some men recognize the odds are against them when a loaded shotgun is pointed their way and back up and try to talk their way out of it. They use the Jim Rockford approach instead of trying to be Chuck Norris.
The driver exited the vehicle with a shotgun to engage the runner on the passenger side. Is it in the wrong to confront the driver and defend oneself? Is that not the entire point of stand your ground? The man in the truck bed had a .357, the jogger made a choice to engage the driver and lost.
You were lied to. He attacked the guy holding the gun.
Hmmm you sure about that?
Did brown get shot in the hand because he was trying to take another man’s gun?
Welp. You’re wrong. He’s on surveillance footage trespassing and prowling. The reason he’s running is because he just got busted trespassing on someone’s property.
Personal attack means you lost the debate. You’re wrong. Go home.
Really? The fact they just busted him tresspassing isn’t just cause?
Tresspassing is a crime.
