At 2:30 a.m., a 200 lb man with blood all over him charges at you and does not stop even after you tell him to stop. Now, you could allow him to close the distance and attempt to prevent him from taking your gun away from you and shooting you. Or you could simply shoot him to take him down. Kerrick made the right decision. Better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
Banging on the womans door, yelling, and when the cops arrived he rushed them and was tazered before they shot him. This is according to our local paper. So it sounds like the guy was on something. And the NAACP is turning it into this weeks trayvon incident.
Police determined the shooting was excessive and charged Kerrick on Saturday. A police statement Saturday said the investigation showed "Kerrick did not have a lawful right to discharge his weapon during this encounter."
That's what the cop said happened.
Whether that's what actually happened remains to be seen.
I suspect that since he was thrown under the bus by his own department, there maybe something else going on that has not yet been released.
One bullet in the leg would stop him.
