It’s a truly unfortunate set of circumstances. I’ve seen the bodycam video and it’s unfortunate. But it’s not malicious. The property manager took the cop to the wrong apartment. But the victim answered the door with a gun in his hand after the cop knocked and identifed himself as the police. And now they have that vulture Ben Crump grifting his way through the tragedy. A bad situation made worse by greedy assholes hoping to cash in on others tragedy.

Hang on...the cops identified themselves? I read that that wasn’t the case.

Crump's M.O. is to take a racially charged incident, then aggravate it by working with a supportive media to promote a false account that makes the incident seem worse than it is. Civil settlements are then extracted from fearful and panicky defendants, with the authorities often helping by prosecuting an unfortunate white or Hispanic.

In that manner, George Zimmerman had to defend himself from murder charges and win acquittal on the facts -- that he was attacked without cause, knocked down and beaten by a young black wannabe thug, whom Zimmerman then fatally shot in a desperate act of self-defense. Meanwhile, Crump collected a hefty settlement from the homeowners' association and their insurer.

Ben Crump does occasionally generate unintended comedy, as when he was paid by a TV cable show to investigate the murder of Tupac Shakur by interviewing peripheral witnesses and treating their well-worn accounts as some sort of revelation. The greatest mystery of thug life rapper Tupac Shakur's death was why it did not happen sooner instead of as a casual gang beef in Las Vegas.

Keep Crump *spit* in Florida. We don’t need him here in Ohio

“Sharpton announced that Tyson’s family has asked him and civil rights attorney Ben Crump to be at the funeral on Wednesday. Crump is representing Tyson’s family and is expected to issue a call to justice during the services”

Cop reacted badly.
The Airman’s family has a case.
The underlying factors of ‘race’ are NOT part of the supporting evidence.

I’ve seen the video. The gun was holstered. This is murder.
