A counter-protester who pulled a gun during an altercation at a Black Lives Matter protestin Tallahassee, Fla., Saturday evening “was lawfully defending himself” and will not face criminal charges, according to the police department.
The Tallahassee Police Department made the announcement Sunday after reviewing a video from the incident from several sources and other evidence with the State Attorney’s Office.
About 150 Black Lives Matter protesters gathered in front of the Florida Historic Capitol Saturday and blocked traffic by Monroe Street and Apalachee Parkway, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. The protest was organized with “no advance notice to or coordination with TPD to ensure safety,” the police department said in a statement.
“During the protest, a white male entered the crowd and began documenting the protest. That individual was pushed from behind by a white protester, which led to a physical altercation between the individual and several other white males,” Tallahassee Police said. “During the altercation, the individual was knocked to the ground. He got back to his feet and brandished a gun. TPD officers quickly engaged, took the individual into custody, and peacefully dispersed the crowd. There were no reported injuries.
This is the difference between states that side with victims and states that side with criminals. In anti-America states, people are stopped at protests, pulled out of their car, and get beaten the hell out of because the criminals are assured he or she won't be able to do a damn thing about it.
Good for the Tallahassee police department for not caving, and keep up the good work.
