Seems like there is something missing from this story.

What race was the passenger ?

Was he white ? Nothing to see here move along.

Was he black ? Time to riot no matter the circumstances.

That's a nice car for this shite to happen. You know the cop didn't expect that when he pulled over a new Jeep.

Eh, this one has unarmed black suspects shot by a white officer and there has already been some protesting. WA though so prob won't be any riots. LINK

Here's a free lesson. Tift County is nowhere remotely near Atlanta, and is pretty far south in the state. Recent demographics show the area as being 65% white to only 28% black.

I cannot find data on the number of Jeep owners in Tift County.

You guys are sick for defending this cop. So what someone might get in an argument with you, does that mean you can just shot them in the face? Just bc your a cop doesn't mean you have the power and it is quiet opposite really. Protect and serve much? Tift Co is a little south of me and cops are bad in my county already.

Clearly if you get out of a car while being pulled over, unarmed mind you, you will get shot in the face. Seems legit.
