It really sucks when you have to prove thatyou are a jogger. Jogging shoes, shorts and a T-shirt are not evidence of being a jogger? Jogging is not evidence of being a jogger? Where was he carrying all the things he stole from his burglary? Why did they need guns to question him? Why did they need to shoot him 3 times if he was unarmed and never actually took a weapon from them? Why should he have to prove he was a jogger? Why is he a thug disguised as a jogger casing houses under construction as a rash of burglaries is terrorizing the neighborhood? Innocent until proven guilty.

Equal protection under the law. Pointing a gun at someone is assault. Pointing a gun at someone should be interpreted by that person as an assault. Everyone has a right to self-defense. Why is it that the white guys with guns get to claim self defense when they are assaulting an unarmed black man? Why does he have to prove he is a jogger when cars and trucks roll up and armed people jump out while a camera is filming? I would be shitting myself if that happened.

Because that is not what happened.

Aubery charged the junior McMichaels from 60 feet away, and closed the last 15 feet at an accelerated pace, punched McMichaels in the head, and grappled for the shotgun.

Now that is an assault.

You don't get a free pass for that kind of stupidity just because you are a Black man. And indeed, race becomes irrelevant under the circumstances. "Think of it as Evolution in Action".
