OK, the cop shouldn't have shot him as he was running away and i hope the cop sends time in prison.
Why is it this guy was buying a Mercedes but hadn't paid child support in 4 years?
Maybe the mosther of those children was jerking him around on visitation.
It doesn't matter.
Here's a better question. Why was it okay for Cliven Bundy to threaten feds with guns for not paying his grazing fees, but you guys think that we should let the cops brutalize Walter Scott for alimony.
Because the BLM brought guns to the party first. The Bundy's responded to a gross government overreach. I don't like the Bundy's in the slightest, but the government broke the law by taking their cattle without a warrant, and the government further engaged in wanton destruction for the sake of vandalism. The BLM was wholly in the wrong in that case.
The BLM brought guns the same way, for the same reasons, and with the same authority that police bring guns to their encounters. They did have judicial approval, and a warrant. Bundy just didn't want to recognize the government's authority for any of it. He is just another typical right wing moocher..
No, they didn't. The BLM has been fighting Bundy in the courts for two decades. The LEGAL way to deal with Bundy was with a tax lien. Period. By doing what they did they elevated it to a armed confrontation which they were fully prepared to see to its conclusion...until they suddenly realized they were outnumbered.
The BLM engaged in wanton reckless behavior every bit as ridiculous as this asshole cop who shot a man for having the temerity to run away from him. Then he planted evidence, just as the BLM destroyed private property in fit of impotent rage.
The BLM were wholly in the right to place a lien on the Bundy's. They were wholly in the wrong to take a civil matter and bring guns to try and terrify the Bundy's into acquiescing, which is exactly what they tried to do.
