The video shows the armed men in the pickup clearly waiting for Aubrey. Aubrey ran around the passenger-side of the truck, which had the driver’s door opened. There is no reason for these two yahoos to chase down the man when they should have called the police and let them handle it. He had nothing but running attire on and obviously no stolen property. The aggressors didn’t even see him do anything illegal at the time. Looking around a construction project isn’t grounds for chasing someone down with weapons. If two guys in a vehicle are chasing me, yelling at me, and obviously armed, I would do whatever it takes to not let them stop me until I reach police or a safe area. The video is pretty clear that it was unnecessary for this to occur. What a shame.
As someone else noted that the young man was struggling for the shotgun- I would have done the same thing. Who were these two yahoos out chasing him? They clearly weren’t in uniform or have badges to demonstrate authority. How was the jogger to know what their intentions were?
If the two men witnessed an assault or other crime, I would say that approaching him with weapons would be appropriate, but they didn’t.

“Whatever it takes”? I guess YOU would use your good judgement, let them yell, and keep running. I certainly would.
