I would like to ask everyone to show some support for Mr. Ersland. I forgot to add in my essay that he is also disabled.

You also forgot to mention that Mr. Ersland was taking fairly massive doses of prescription pain relievers for his painful disability. Also, there was the little thing about him walking back into the store after pursuing the fleeing would-be robber that got away, walking past the wounded robber laying on the floor, retrieving a Taurus Tracker revolver (.410 shotgun or .45 colt!) from the rear of the store, walking back to where the wounded robber lay and shooting him five times, point blank in the torso.

Other than that, petty good essay.

The guy calmly stepped over the unconscious, never armed, 16 year old robber, got another gun out of a drawer and then standing over the robber, he pumped 5 bullets into the kid, that is why they charged him with murder.

After he killed the kid, he bandaged his arm and claimed that he was wounded in a complicated shootout, this coming from a guy that also falsely claimed to be a big time combat vet who was injured in Desert Storm (he was never in combat).

Obviously the dem DA fell for the usual cries of Jevontai and Antwun were good boys and just about to get their lives together
Filing charges is bad enough but seeking a first degree murder conviction based on these circumstances..even a dem should know better than that.

If he is found guilty of anything (felony), he loses his pension. I believe that he will be found innocent unless the jury finds that five shots is extreme. I have a feeling that they will question that but find him innocent.

It will be an interesting contrast to see what happens to this man vs the BART cop in Oakland who executed a boy lying on the ground.
