That right there is why I have self-defense insurance, and it’s why I have a plan that connects me right to a lawyer, no call center or operator. Law enforcement can supboena the records of the call center and screw you over that way.

Typically bad journalism that fails to list critical details of the incident.

But have they ever charged a cop for hitting an innocent bystander?

Definitely take this to a jury.

In Louisiana it’s called “doin’ bidness as use’wal, sha”. (Translation: Doing business as usual, Chere.) They have have never understood any other way. Favorite Governor was Huey P. Long. (Share Our Wealth, A chicken in every pot, nicknamed “the Kingfish) Best folks in the world. Love those people!!

Lots of gaps in this story. If indeed he sent the thug to a better place as stated he walks if I’m on the jury. Still lots of unknowns in this one.

After his arrest, police said Alexander told them he was afraid the suspect was going to kill him when he pulled his gun out to rob the store.

And the police believe it was just a friendly gesture like hi, how ya doing when the perp pulled his gun on the clerk??
